Have you priced a new carburator lately? Do it and you'll answer your
own question.

carburetors at the local store, and a lot of them are out of production.

I have an updraft carburetor on a Lincoln welder with a Continental engine.
I had to rebuild it myself, and that included making new gaskets. It works.
On some of the older models, you can fergeddabout finding new carburetors.
