Hey Polkadot, I dig into the carb set I have and check the jets. Pretty sure I have them. I want to keep the carb bodys until I have a chance to look at my Crispy Wing that burned up. I'm hoping the only real damage is that the plastic in the carb top is melted. I that case I'll use the tops from my spare carb rack.

Ern,

I have 4 complete sets of jets with the exception of the slow air jets. I can mail them to you just PM me with your address and I'll drop them in the mail. I also have a 5 hole needle jet that I think you need and I have some extra pucks if you need them as well. No cost for anything, just glad to be albe to help.

Hey Ern,

I just looked up where you live and I grew up and lived in Oregon and Rossberg. I have relatives just over the border in OttaLake Mi.

Cleaning, washing, sorting, organizing. Found some rust so I set up the electrolysis.
