epay carb seller recommended
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261508675326...84.m1439.l2649
I bought it because it was dirt cheap [did not expect to win] and it looked good. Oh, and it has that rare as hell black and gray performance carb choke pulloff.
Got it today, and it LOOKS GREAT.
It does appear rebuilt, contrary to description, but no complaints.
AU secondary rods on "I" hanger.
Gaskets look fresh.
App number looks decidedly non-OEM, with small digits, but bears 1969 [1979?] mfg date and I just can't care.
Looking at parting it out. Most of the bits can be used to refurbish my '68 OAI carb and get the appearance right. Not 100% sure the choke pieces are identical Toro to A-body, but will know soon.
If this seller has a carb you like, I can highly recommend them.
Good communication.
They have a "7058253" right now, probably 800 CFM...

Sometimes you get lucky! I'm a bit surprised you think it's been rebuilt if it has AU rods and that original pulloff. Very clean, it's a nice core carb. If I buy carbs off ebay, I like 'em real dirty! I like to see that orig pulloff, even if it's broken in half. I like to see white striped hose. I figure there's a better chance it has the right major parts if they look like that.

Gaskets are too fresh, and air horn gasket has the broken part that stuck out at the left front. I don't think original air horn gaskets had that stickout part.
Fuel inlet is 2-pc, maybe thread repair item.
Every detail is too clean and pretty to be used or not rebuilt, but front mtg bolt holes do have the heavy bolt witness marks.
Here is some epay bullshed:
"See what other people bought after buying this item"
they announce if you view the item.
I assure you the buyer of this item DID NOT buy any of the things shown.
