They are extremely busy and shorthanded.
They only answer the phone between 10:00am-6:00pm Monday and Thursday.

When I talk to them, I think I might take Jethro's advice and get a kit.

But his product is worth the wait!

Good carburetion is fuelish hot airThe most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

I was going to call, but seeing previous post on a longer repair time, I''ll just wait. Don't need it as we put on a spare rebuilt fuel pump.
