Well the gas leak came back on wagon do to the fuel inlet not having these things call threads. So i call around trying to find another carb. Well 150 here, 200 their. The local places would re-thread it but they did not have good warranties. So i just bit my lip and sent it off to Washington to have it rebuilt and get the inlet fixed. Yes Washington at the other end of the USA. It did not need a over-haul, but it was not 100% either.

To add style to it, I put my sister's old tag on the front.

I also got new pre-bent gas line from the dealer that runs from the pump to the carb for only $6!!!!!!

We like to call them carbs up north.

Looks like they cleaned it up and replaced all the expendables. Looks good.

I don't know why i spelled it like that. But carbs unlimited did a good job.

Next step is to replace the dashlights so i can pull some codes from it.
