comes with a few extra parts than what i found but still not enough. just think what a disaster a carburetor would be if you dumped ethanol fuel into and only refilled the bowls when that literally dried up multiple times. then pour maple syrup onto the carburetor then let that dry. then be the second or third person to mess with it and the first or second person knew less than you if anything. then imagine how many parts you might need to fix it. also 20 weeks was out of the question. cant rush quality but when your on a tight unknown time frame as the whole point was to get it on the road before cancer took him. i ended up finding a quality company that only does stock rebuilds and does the cores ahead of time. took me only a week to get a replacement carb. i could have done it cheaper and faster if you could get more than just your basic rebuild kit. either way maple syrup obviously wasn't dried onto it but something thick and tacky was all over the carburetor. i didn't want the project and tried my best to avoid having anything to do with it. if it wasn't a good friend of mine and it wasn't for his father that didn't have alot of time left i wouldn't have.
