Phyrphighter Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hello there again. I'm looking to rebuild the Stromberg SF-5 that is on my 1942 Mack 80 LS Fire Engine. Anyone know if a rebuild kit is available for this? (The engine record for my truck lists this carb as a Stromberg 234 GB 15B which is also on a circular tag riveted to the carb. SF-5 is the common number that is cast into the carb housing)Thank you Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I forgot to mention one guy that might be able to help when I spoke to you on the phone...Cal Little 717-566-8973 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrphighter Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks, Cal was nice but we couldn't locate something for this carb. I did have one reply that said they could sell me a rebuild kit.... Just a kit for $400.00. Makes me kind of wish I kept my ford fire truck and let this one go. Last kit for that was $21.00 Oh well, live and learn. Thank you for your suggestions.Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrphighter Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just an update to my problem finding parts for my Stromberg carburetor that goes on my 1942 Mack 80LS pumper. Although I never did find parts, I found somone to rebuild the carb for me for just over $325.00. I know it might not sound like a bargin but that only other solution I foud was a guy that would sell me a rebuild kit for $400 or a replacement carb for $1500 - $1800.I sent my carb to a place called Daytona Parts. When I talked to them on the phone they said that they make gaskets and seals by hand when necessary. However they did ir the carb came back looking like brand new and it works great. It took about a month for me to get it back.If anyone else gets into a simialr bind with a carburetor, don't hesitate to check www.daytonaparts.com It worked out well for me.BarryHello there again.
