Who would be the "Go to Guy", if there is one, when it comes to rebuilding a Zenith carb off of a 52 or 53 GMC COE?

The updraft carbs have only about a dozen parts. You could easily rebuild this yourself, the only adjustment being the float height and where the clip sits on the piston inside.

Im sure I could come up with the measurements for the float if you need. You can spend $40 on a kit, but the only replacable parts are a needle/seat and a gasket. Maybe a small spring or two. These really are about as simple as carbs come.
