Time for me to chime back in on the PWK stories. As some of you will remember, when I bought a PWK 40 from Ebay, I won the crappy carb lotto and got one in very sketchy shape. DBM and I had a lot of messaging back and forth (along with some parts), and I ordered some jet selections from Jets R US and got another rebuild kit to replace a cracked float. At this stage of my build, the carb and all the bits ended up on a shelf in a box to await the assembly of my engine.
The other day while sipping on some cold beverages, the unpleasantness of my PWK experiences drifted back to the front of my mind. And I remembered how inexpensive these carbs are. Hard to complain considering the price. So in my mind it couldn't hurt to try again! This time I ordered one from JFG Racing (where DBM had gotten a couple) since he had really good luck with them. In less than a week I had another PWK 40 carb in my hands. Impressive shipping time! But... as a wise man once told me, you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. This is the condition of the box as delivered....
