Reply To: UU2 carburator

The problem with UU2 carbs are there are five different castings and they fit more than 80 cars……so even if you find one, it probably won’t be right for a Pierce. Then you still have large and small choke horns, one or two choke shafts, different jets, idle air screws, etc,etc,etc. Same applies to UUR2 except they fit 185 different applications. Carbs are getting very difficult to find. Most on eBay are junk….they look good, cost 800 to 1500, are incorrect, and when you get them apart they are no good. They also rot from the inside out, so just because the bowl isn’t cracked, that doesn’t mean its good. As for price……don’t complain……..I just did a carb that the purchase and overhaul makes 3 grand look like Childs play…..rare stuff is getting almost impossible to find.
