or not? let's just get the carb that on it working!
Car doesn't return to idle correct? Or has that been fixed?
idk, its all gunked from bad gas, needs to be cleaned and run. buying & installing a new carb with unknown jetting is NOT the answer and a cheap chinese ripoff webber might even cause more problems than it solves....

I mean, I totally get where youre coming from. 1 backup carb aint a bad thing to have. It is free. Jetting listed below. IF it bolts up and idles and runs decent, I can run it on sunday while the main carb soaks.
Specifications:
1.52 Idle Jets, .115 Main Jets, 200 Air correctors, F-11 Emulsion Tubes, .200 Needle & seat.
2.550 Pump Exhaust Valve Jet w/ Delrin balls, .50 Accelerator Pump Jets & 28mm Venturis.
3.Profiled Throttle (Butterfly) shafts
4.Cold start circuit eliminated for a 20% Larger Float Bowl & more fuel volume
5.Extra long Velocity stack bolts to accommodate linkage plates and Billet air filter bases
Notice them delrin balls. Could be good? The current stuff is chromed.

Get a new pilot jet and an ultrasonic cleaner.

Also try raising and lowering the need position and see if it makes a difference.

edit: also toss on some fresh plugs and wires.
