Here it is, straight from the horse's mouth: the original Carter Carburetor specs, service procedures, and technical bulletins, covering their temperamental YF carburetor. Karl Russell collected these documents, which represent an invaluable source of information for anyone trying to get the best performance from their YF (original equipment on the CJ-3B Universal Jeep.)
