monkeygutz69, The ST 2300 sounds like it should be fine for this application. 5 ounces is NOTHING on a ship this size. Also, carbs can be found at every swap meet, and I found out many, many years ago that it doesn't have to be the same brand. If that O-ring seals it, it will work (if it is a working carb). Take it with you and hold it up against a bunch of them. You might even be able to graft something off one of your others. But try it out first, this one might be all set. The only reason I don't like ST's is that they use funky fuel ratios that work in nothing else. Certainly no reason not to try one if the application looks promising, and from what you've explained here, it really does look pretty good to me. Hey, you can always sell it off for a downpayment on something you think you'll like better.

Go for it!
