Idle pickup tube collar size difference?
JasonCamaro69:
I am working on a 7029224, and am trying to replace the idle pickup tubes, but the new ones seem too small. Is my receiver too large, or did I get an odd pair? I marred the old ones, so I am unable to reuse threm.

Was that carburetor commercially "remanufactured" at some point?....

Yes it was, however, the person I purchased them from chose to treat me like a complete moron, so I drove 4 hours to get another core. I immediately took the tubes out, and my new tubes slipped right in the hole with no resistance just like my original.
I guess at this point I just need to buy another pair from someone else. I was able to surgically remove the collars from the "new" core, but the tubes won't fit inside of them
Cliff Ruggles:
The only time I've ran into loose idle tubes is with commercially remanufactured units. I have had some that didn't take much effort to install but never just dropped right in w/o some resistance.
I'll size what we have in stock when I get to the shop tomorrow and see if we have bigger than .160"?.....Cliff
JasonCamaro69:
I would appreciate it. I have seen them listed online with a collar OD of .161.
