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 .       --       Snag        My rights don't end       where your fear begins .              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
