The 1971 SDV that I recently bought came with a new Autoline (Autozone) 9095 rebuilt Roch. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it to run correctly. I appears the both main jets were different and incorrect and that the idle circuit was working at all.
All the while reaching out to Autoline directly for some technical assistance with no response. I did talk to the previous owner to find out that this was the warranty replacement to the original one purchased in April (no vacuum ports on the back that worked). So I went Autozone and replaced the replacement to find that it was better but the idle circuit was still not working. Obviously I am done with Autoline but I need an OEM rebuilt Roch that has actually been tested (and works). Recommendations regarding a place that will send me the correct OEM carb that has been tested. The motor is totally stock and only has 32k on it.
