To Sniper or not to Sniper...?

Cliff doesn't personally rebuild carbs anymore, I understand that he is retired. I bought a kit from him many years ago and it worked fine. It's up for rebuild again, and that's the way I'd go. The only real adjustments a carb needs is from winter to summer and back. My take is that vehicles sitting long enough for the fuel to evaporate out of the float bowl have problems. I know mine does. But if I start it even every other day, all I have to do is pump the pedal once and turn the key until it starts, and that may be as short as turn and release. As usual, one's mileage may vary.

FWIW, given the number of miles I drive my truck per year (~1000), I don't think that I'd ever recover the installation cost, even if I provided the labor for free.
