Carburetor Trouble

[quakeworld]

Hi,

My car wouldn't start at all tonight. After turning off the engine earlier the engine still went as if it was still wanting to start and it was chugging.

The mechanic said the carburetor is the problem.

My question is how much would a carburetor cost?

I have a 1990 Toyota Corolla 1.6L. How bout buying a surplus carburetor?

Would anyone know any second hand parts store around the Las Pinas area?

Thanks.

baka kaya pa ng repair kit?

I'm sorry, but what's a repair kit? I'm not too familiar with car parts...

Should I just mention to my mechanic to check the repair kit first?

kung di alam ng mechanic mu yung repair kit, well palet ka ng mekaniko.

afaik, repair kit ay yung piece by piece na pag dismantle then tignan kung alin ang sira at maayos. papalitan lang yung mga sira ng bago. gets? but if mas makakamura ka sa surplus na carb or sa brandnew then get one na lang as a whole.

ok thanks for your help!

Go to a mechanic who knows carbs or specializes in them. Marami nyan sa Kamias in Q.C.

When was the last time you changed fuel filters? One possibility is that dirt may have gotten into the carb. Have the carb opened up and if it needs an overhaul, purchase a Keyster Kit for it.
