You tell me... > I know you can fairly easily get the accelerator pump discharge tube separately. I think check the Rocky Mountain Motorworks (or Bus Stop) catalog. Also, the idle shut-off switch and the automatic choke, if you use it. Also, I recently bought locally a barrel nut that you use to attach the accelerator cable (they always fall out when I'm not looking and I lose them). Got it at an independent repair shop that handles VWs. May just be a standard part for any carb. What someone said about getting extra carbs for parts is a good idea. I got a used stock carb (30 PICT-3) at a bug show for $5.00 There were boxes of old Solex carbs. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mark Thomas / mthomas@tamu.edu / 409-862-1052, fax: 409-845-6238 Evans Library, Texas A&M Univ., College Station, TX 77803
