Look for one that doesn't look like it has ever been apart before. Most of the time the virgin carbs-the 10 screws that hold it together, you can see that they haven't had a screwdriver in them. Most of the time the rebuilder didn't use a good screwdriver and the slots in the screws will be boogered up. Now you know the little TQ secret!
Hopefully this one is good because the seller has very good feedback. If it has to be rebuilt again I'll have it done. Thanks.
