Sorry, thought I did. All I've got for 1bbls is a fugly Carter RBS
which I'll generously call, "rebuildable". Yes, it's "rebuildable".

As a guess, the needle and set are crapped up or the float sunk. If
your gas tank is filled with rust #1 is likely. Pop the top off (dont'
mangle the float lifting it off, its all delicate and likes to hang up
on junk in there). If there's dirt on the floor of the bowl there you
go. You can clean it easily.

If the float sunk, you are, umm, sunk until you get a new one.

It wouldn't hurt to have a two-legged fuel filter between the pump and the carb.

Last i heard nationalcarburetor.com will do a lifetime warranty for
about $150. They used to have some for less. With cores so crappy
these days I wouldn't do anything less ('cept buy new ones).
