the current carb on the 216 is a rochester single...no numbers on it...probably off a 1950s auto.......gas was gushing out of lever that runs from above the idle screw straight up through carb to spring inside carb....i used the old carbs base because the bolts aligned with it....then took the top part off a similar single barrel rochester...it works good but runs rough.....i pulled the plugs and they are black...and if i lean it out anymore the engine will die......i think i will have to spend the 150 bucks for a original one......expensive
