Chevy CK Pickup Carburetors & Components

The Chevy CK Pickup employed carburetors for most of its production run, that’s why there are still lots of carb-equipped models on the road. When your carburetor is clean and operates properly, the engine of your truck starts easily and provides proper emissions and fuel efficiency levels. However, if your carburetor is dirty or failed, it may lead to rough idle, hard starting, poor fuel efficiency, and other issues. Some of these issues require replacement of your carburetor, while others need a minor repair. For instance, if a choke fails to close, it causes a rich fuel mixture entering a cold engine and leading to hard starting. In this case, you don’t need to replace the carburetor of your CK, because a simple cleaning or adjustment of your choke mechanism and linkage will solve the problem.

Misfire or hesitation when your truck’s engine is under load may be caused by a failed power valve inside the carburetor. This issue doesn’t require replacement of the carburetor as well, because usually a carburetor rebuild kit includes a new power valve. But if your power unit hesitates without load, it is a more serious problem. It is a common symptom of a lean fuel mixture which may be caused by a misadjusted or dirty carburetor. Replacing or rebuilding your carburetor may be necessary in this case. Whatever issues you’re experiencing, in our catalog of Chevy CK Pickup carburetors and components you will find components to restore your truck.
