Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?

Do you not have a bench grinder or a right angle grinder handy? That would be quicker.

I guess I'm spoiled. I've been buying tools since I first went to work. My buddies were buying golf clubs and skis and junk like that (I did have a nasty bowling habit that was expensive but I never had the patience to devote all the time it takes to try and turn pro) and now, in my mid 50's I have two lathes, one with a small mill that works if you ain't greedy and don't crowd it and a TIG welder plus all my hand tools right out in the shop.

If you have any kind of a grinder handy you can knock this thing right out, and then order some bolts later if you want to.

Glad you are sticking to it. God hates a coward. And a quitter. Sometimes, you just gotta grind on it (no pun intended) until you make it work!!

If i had a garage it'd be a beautiful thing. I live in an apartment with a stall in the back.. much better than most places around me here in San Diego honestly. Id absolutely have a grinder and all sorts of other stuff (i miss wood working the most).

Courtesy of google maps street view; the locked cabinet to the far right is the most garage i have.. minus my bedroom which has tool chests next to dressers:

(PS i found a bowling ball next to that dumpster there a few days ago.. its from the 60's and all shiny and rad. Trade you ball for i dunno.. GETTING MY CAR RUNNING? haha)
