I have heard a lot of complaints about the rochester, but mine worked flawlessly for 25 years with nothing more than a new float. Recently however it has taken up the nasty habit of filling up as if the float was stuck/sunk and dripping gas on the exhaust. It would work for a while, then not, work for a while then not. I can find nothing wrong except for pouring gas all over the exhaust. As I had a whole box of various carburetors, I rebuilt one and replaced it. My opinion would be what ever you can get 2 of would be good. Just make sure if you get rochesters that they have all the goodies to hold on the air filter, once again not knowing then what I know now, I bought two with the stud brackets having been torn out. But having recently bought a nice shiny new drill press and lathe maybe I will do something with them after all.
