Thanks for all the helpful and educational responses. I now know more than I did the other day about vacuum, carburetors and machine shops that don't always get things right. I was apprehensive about doing this job myself---with good reason as it turns out---that's why I had a machine shop try it. The best decision I made was to post my issue here on Stovebolt and talk with Jerry about it. I'm very grateful for his offer to help. Across the ocean it goes!
