Yes, it did come with the cutoff valves. Unfortunately after closer inspection I noticed one of them was broke, and the other looks slightly bent. Where can I pick up replacements? Based on your advise, I decided to send one of the two carbs to Rimco to have the throttle bushing refabbed at $30 (the other carb was relatively tight, bit I might try your fix on it until next month anyway). I guess I should be very careful while doing this, huh? While the throttle bushing is in the shop, I'm going to rebuild the carbs. I just ordered a kit from ISP West. Any tips or suggestions, things to look out for, etc. would certainly help. My mailing address is P.O. Box 720908, Dallas, TX 75206 (hey everybody... feel free to drop free parts in my box anytime - he he) Thank you very much, Neil. I certainly appreciate it.
