You're doing a beautiful job with your bus. Just a suggestion but I'd return the Chinese carb and get one of Tim's restored German Solex carb. They are as good as new when he's done.

man I could have used that about a week ago. I did mine with loose ball bearings and it was so annoying. Went through 8 to end up with 4 halfway decent ones. |
