Engine Mechanical problem
1986 Dodge Colt 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual
My mechanic says that the bad master brake cylinder has allowed the brake fluid to bypass back into the brake booster. It has , from there, gone into the intake through the vaccum line, causing the carburetor to go bad. He's saying that it's too bad to rebuild. This problem has apparently been going on for some time, getting gradually worse to this point!
My question is: if I go to the expense of replacing the carb, what other problems might I expect to run into as a result of this condition? Sould I do a compression test to evaluate the condition of valves and rings?
The plugs have been fouling out for sometime before discovering the brake fluid problem.
