[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 420610, member: 432"] As you rebuild it look for rust deposits and or flakes. Make sure your needle valve seats are clean but don't damage them trying to clean them. Clean it but go easy on the cleaning. Fuel sitting inside a carburetor for years is much easier to clean than water sitting inside. Water will rust parts while fuel just gums it up. As for the decision of buying a used carb, I think you did OK. If it came with a 30 day guarantee the seller put his faith in it that it worked. That may be one reason why he has a 100% rating.
