He's an 80-year-old carb expert, so knows his stuff.

He's got the whole thing apart and is about to do a rebuild with a carb kit. But he says that 'choke shut-off' part won't fully close the choke when starting and then won't release it at all upon running. So I'm over-fueling, with fuel spilling out of the carb. A fire hazard, no doubt.

He's called around, even drove to a farm to check on a few wrecks, but hasn't found anything usable. Any suggestions?

Just realized I spelled that wrong in the subject. Sorry about that. Can't seem to edit that.
