68ironhead- Hmm! thanks for that tip IH, that makes a difference. But how would that be mounted? (since I know nothing about electric pumps for these, or how they're mounted on the engine.)
John- And thank you for that information, as well! Pretty sure it's a B, not BC, because mine is definitely not auto choke! It's a B. And I think I got one of those 3rd world crap carbs. If my memory serves me correctly, the rebuild job went south and I ended up ordering a carb from classic parts. As thankful as I am to have a places like classic parts to get unobtainable truck parts from, I'm well aware from previous experience with them that a lot, if not most, of their repro parts are sub par and built by companies who have zero quality control and even less in the personnel department. My first clue was when I ordered trim stainless for my inner door panels, and the quality was non-existent. That's when I first noticed "made in taiwan". I don't think I ever got anything from them that wasn't sketchy in the quality catagory, so this might just explain all the trouble I've had with this one. And thanks for the reference to Carbking's place. I'll be ordering from him shortly, it looks like. And, Hey!, he's in Missouri about 3 hours from me. Great!
