FYI, judging by the pictures, I would have a look at that air cleaner. If it is an oil bath type, check for a crack somewhere.
It could be leaking oil into the engine and may cause running issues.

There is very excellent information on this forum for refurbing the Rochester B and BC.
Things like check for warping of the fuel bowl and airhorn before buying a rebuild kit.
