Carb Rebuilt Tuned Up and WOW!!!!

I sent it to UREMCO in Illinois. The cost was $200 which included shipping.

Pretty good price.

For that price I wanted to get a rebuilt one, but I couldn't find one

Good. Off-the-shelf "rebuilt" or "remanufactured" carburetors are junk. So are the Chinese "100% NEW!!!!!!!!!!" knockoffs.

The levers and linkages are just the original parts cleaned up - right? Why would they rust more than the original parts?

'cuz most of them were originally plated against rust.
