Carburetor options/retrofit '87 Honda Accord
Hi: I just bought an '87 Accord, and I found out it needs a new carb.
The carb replacement is very expensive. It is listed as a Holly Carb. Does anyone know of any other carburetors I could use in place of the factory issued part, that will more than likely cost me a lot less than the Holly? Thanks |

The final generation of Asian carburetors, in the 1980s, tends to wear out in ways that cannot be fixed or undone with a rebuild, and replacement becomes the only workable option. The ones listed as "remanufactured" are usually virtually all new parts, hence the near-$600 pricetag. Junkyard carbs are usually just as bad (or worse) as your own. > It is listed as a Holly Carb. No, it is not a Holley. It's a Keihin. > Does anyone know of any other carburetors I could use in place of the > factory issued part There is no direct-fit replacement other than a correct factory-type unit. Depending where you live, your emission laws may or may not forbid you from using anything BUT a factory-type unit. DS |
