Given that Carter made a million modifications to the Thermoquad over its lifespan, I thought I&#8217;d put the spare side by side with my working carb to see what visual differences I could pick out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0217.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1328 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0217.jpg?resize=1024%2C768\" alt=\"IMG_0217\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0217.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0217.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0217.jpg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Apart from the extra arm attached to the main throttle linkage, they look identical to me. I did a brief comparison to my third spare, and that one isn&#8217;t even in the same family. The main body is cast differently, and there are a handful of inlets and outlets that don&#8217;t match up to the ones I&#8217;ve got, or are completely missing.<\/p>\n<p>From what it looks like, most carb rebuild kits are ~$50. Peer Pressure has been getting harder to start reliably, so some carb adjustment is definitely moving up the priority list, and having a pair to tear down will help in familiarizing myself with these complicated beasts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0221.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1327 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0221.jpg?resize=1024%2C768\" alt=\"IMG_0221\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0221.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0221.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.billdugan.com\/scout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_0221.jpg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t have any money to be spending on the Scout right now, but one of the things on the to-do list is to rebuild a spare carburetor.
