So after a bit of an incident I think I have blown out the gaskets on the carb as when pushing the throttle I get alot of air sound. Also fuel it running down over the carb. I am curious how I identify what I need to order to attempt to rebuild this carb. Or is it more beneficial to just buy one from ebay?
Note the brand and model of your carb and purchase a rebuild kit. It will have all the gaskets and seals you’ll need plus a new check valve. Instructions are usually straight forward, but paying close attention to detail during disassembly will go a long way in making it easier to reassemble.
…and of course, pictures make infallible memories. gld
Contact Jon Hardgrove (CarbKing) at the Carburetor Shop (also a member of this forum) and give him all the information you have on the carburetor. The numbers cast onto the carburetor itself are also useful in case the tag is incorrect.

Also, the Rochester B is notorious for warping. The body may not be fitting tightly against the base. There are ways to fix it and Jon will help you figure it out. You can also find instructions on this site to repair it if necessary.
