Default Old K&B Question

I have an old K&B racing enigine with a perry carb on it. The carb needs to be replaced, but it is no longer made. Any ideas on another option?

Thanks
Scott

Not the one for this engine which is the 2100.

I wonder if that is a permanent situation or will they will be made in a future run? That model fits several brands and models, from a .19 up to a .50.

Scott:

Why do you think the carb has to be replaced? Unless the body is broken it should be repairable, and I've even had some success repairing the body if the break was the mounting spigot.

It needs to be replaced because it has a bent needle valve and the barrel has some very serious scratches in it. As far as I can tell they will never make the 2100 again because it was for this engine and K&B will never make it again because they have better engines available.

Thanks
