I would not hesitate to tear it apart yourself, there is alot of satisfaction in fixing it yourself. I used to be like you -afraid of not knowing how to fix it. This is kind of like the first time you were introduced to a computer. That carb is a very simple devise, pretty much like the float in your indoor plumbing---float rubbing or not set correct--hole in float--the float valve (needle valve) having rust in the seat. That my friend is pretty much all there is to your problem. If your main man is not on top of things, ask if he put the gasket under the needle valve. Make very certian the leak is not from a gasket and appearing as from within.

They seriously aren't that difficult. and like I stated before the cost of a float-or needle valve won't be more than the postage on your new carb. I have seen alot of goofers fixed by profesionals, they are human and all. There are alot of good quality carb men out there. Mistakes are never impossible for anyone. I wish I had some spare time because I would sure give it a try, but It would be a month or two before I get kind of caught up. I have made alot of promises that I am going to have to face up to.
I personaly would asked the guy to state his policy on redo's. Most anyone will make it right, unless he did a free bee for you in the first place. I would think he should redo for parts only. However -- I certianly will stick up for the guy if you do not have a good filter system for the gas before it gets to the carb. Rust is harder than gas, --NO one can fix a carb with rust coming through the needle valve- and the new gas is said to be harder to stop leaks than the old.

As long as you do not break the casting you will not be out anything,if you do go at it yourself, and you will still have a core credit. I wish you the best of luck. NE IA Dave
