    Once again, I need a sacrificial VM carb.

    It's late January, so I'm actually a little late getting prepared for the 'season opener' O-ring rush. There's quite a bit of lead time, and if I don't have the product ready to go by March, I might have to put people on a waiting list. It gets crazy sometimes.

    While I'm at it, I want to 'tune up' the VM kit and tweak some of the sizes. To do this, I need a VM carb. Does anyone have an old unneeded or scrap VM carb to spare? It would sure make things easier.

    I've seen banks of them on ebay, and WOW, these things can get expensive! I just need a guinea pig, so a defective carb is OK.

    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Robert, I know we talked about this before, and I said I was going to send you a carb.

    After I moved I did find the single carb that I replaced. It's all there except the fuel pilot needle may be stuck in place...however...after I rebuilt my carbs earlier this winter (with non Robert Barr o-rings ) I have extra fuel pilot needles.

      I have one you could borrow, but I'd need it back.
