      I guess I should have specified that I don't have 400 bucks to spend   
   ... I'm looking for a rebuildable complete carb at minimum that I can   
   lay my hands on and inspect . Buying online is dicey , might end up with   
   a carb with the throttle shaft bores worn so bad it's unusable . I'm not   
   spending a c-note for a carb that looks like it spent the last 7 years   
   in a bucket half full of water .   
      I guess I'll drag out the greensand and make up a pattern for an   
   a-dapter plate . Got just the right alloy to cast one too .
