Little points like the spring loaded fuel valves for marine and off road applications are of particular interest.
The points about the letting the vehicles stand causing problems with ethanol fuel mix is something that many of us have been figuring out.
Bob you are lucky to find a good, friendly, knowledgeable, carb shop. With these death of carburetors on production vehicles these will be harder to find.
CMP owners have heart though because they were built with Ford and Chevy engines that are beloved of Hot Rodders there is a better chance for carb parts going into the future than if CMPs had been built by Nash, Desota or Studebaker.
