    You can usually find rebuildable carbs on eBay and several members offer rebuild services on the site. Xj4ever has all the rebuild kits ....the carbs even if they look beyond hope can be rebuilt ...this the church of clean ....do your research get a manual read alot of threads on the site it all helps. Good luck

    You are near Appleton yes?
    I highly doubt those carbs can't be refurbished/ rebuilt, there needs to be an investment
    There are quite a few cheeseheads around maybe someone can assess your carbs condition for you.

    No they aren't. I've rebuilt carbs that have been sitting for 40 years with what used to be fuel in them.

    Those are restoration-quality. Standard rebuild services look more like this when done....

    You can see many before/after pics if you search the forums
