Got a little further with the tear down yesterday. Managed to break a wrench in the process... remind me to purchase good tools in the future.

That's a good price. It will be interesting to see what you think of the carb.

Made a little progress on the tear down over the weekend. Also got a nice gift from UPS the other day.

2- the wedding ring
3- the suffering.
