First, if you want to retain your sanity, stay away from incomplete VHB carbs. Components are becoming more and more difficult to source, which seems to have occurred over just the past year or two.
The latest pair I have were incomplete, missing float bowl, float bowl nuts and 1 accelerator pump (among others I may not have discovered yet). Charlie Mullendore was kind enough to find me a pair of float bowl nuts (I had extra float bowls, but not the nuts/drain plug). I THOUGHT I had a complete accelerator pump, but found it's missing the main jet holder, Dell'orto part number 7828. Simple little screw-in brass piece with external threads to fit into the accelerator pump body and internal threads to fit the main jet. Can't seem to find one in the U.S., and purchase/shipping from Europe is prohibitively expensive. Anybody have a spare? I hesitate to ask Charlie again because he's going to think I'm a pain in the rear..... I'll post a picture in a short while. THANKS for any help with this. And I'll add that I don't know what other surprises I'll find and probably be begging for.

This is what it looks like, greatly enlarged. The hex is 10mm, I believe.
