need some help

some may remember a while back I wanted to get my B2 going but I haven't been able to yet with keeping the other two rigs going, I believe that to get it drivable the best I can for the time being is to fix up my fuel issue and that would likely mean changing the carb to a better one and getting rid of the bastardized feedback one.

As noted in these threads:

there is a few options that vary in cost and installation, but as I need this quick im limited in what i can do.

Does anyone have anything laying around that they could let go for el cheapo or know of where I can find it for cheap or free??

so reading again through this via this I may do this but as the choke is electronic controlled and had failed thus the wiring it open by the PO to it. how could I convert it to control it by hand like with a cable?

If you do not have emissions tests to worry about, you can save some money on the D/spark conversion by using the stock carb until you can afford the non-feedback 2150, just unplug the wiring connections......make sure to keep the wire that plugs in for the choke.....

You will also need to plug all of the carb vacuum lines that you do not need, connect a short hose to each of the vacuum ports & plug them off with a golf tee or a small tight fitting bolt.

I ran 2 '85 B2's & an '84 Ranger that way for quite a while, it is not the ideal setup as it tends to run rich but it will get you by & run pretty well. If you have emissions testing, you can get through with a little tweaking of the carb & timing but it is a PAIN..............

Unfortunately, the 2.8 is pretty expensive to rebuild......I LOVE the 2.8 no matter what anyone say's because I know what it is capable of.... If your's runs decent, do the D/spark conversion, it will probably last longer than you think....
