I have called every Stromberg (and more)carburetor rebuilder I could find on Google and nobody has these parts. I know I could buy a core on ebay or something but even the junk ones, with shipping, is stupid money for just these three parts. Any suggestions I haven't thought of? As a sidebar: The carb actually works perfectly without the bowl vent assembly. Do I even need the damn thing?? I'm not seeing the logic where the vent is closed at idle and needing it to open at full throttle. Obviously without the assembly and the rubber thingamabobob, the bowl is always vented yet it still idles and accelerates like a smoothly.
