Ford 800 carb venturi

[oneofeach]

My carb Ford 800 has a venturi in it that is different that the typical plastic or brass one. I don't think it is lifting fuel therefore won't run. It's a totally different profile than then the common one and I can't locate a replacement. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

A picture would be helpful. Also the number on the carburetor.

Search for McDonald Carburetor - they sell venturis and other individual carb parts.

It's apparently made of "pot metal", NOT uncommon, and shows pitting.

IF there's enough metal on the flange that the gasket between the carb body halves can seal it's NOT the cause of the carburetor "not lifting fuel", IMHO.

Looks like a standard small bowl Marvel Shebler venturi. Yes it's totally different than the medium bowl. You can find it at McDonald's or ebay. You'll have to measure yours for a replacement unless you have the carburetor number.
