Good deal, let me know what you want for it.
The one on my new Hornet is so so but I see a replacement or rebuild in the spring. It is hard starting and I know it is the choke. If I had a spare I could rebuild it this winter and make the bracket for the manual ckoke like I have on the other Hornet and install it on a nice day. Them automatic choke Carters are the pits unless the engine is up to operating temperature summer or winter it makes no difference they suck. This car is just going to be an almost stock cruiser, with the Turbine wheels that came with it & the BFG Radial T/A tires I added and one of my custom interiors. Money allowing a nice clean paint job.
