My '61 has dual WCFB's and has sat for the past 7 days or so. Today, as usual, a single pump on the pedal and instant light-off and nice idle. Points ignition too. I rebuilt these 7 years ago, and recently had to lower the float level in the secondary carb due to hot percolation with gasahol, but man, these carbs run like the car has fuel injection. No bogs or hesitation anywhere, just instant starts and instant throttle response. Some of the best carbs I've ever driven.
I too would NO WAY go into business rebuilding anything, especially old components where new parts are not available or are of inferior quality. The chance of something going wrong is 50/50, and people love to complain.
Great to see younger forks 'pick up the torch' though!!
