[QUOTE="KillerKilgore, post: 226018, member: 7013"] I have ordered from them (laingsoutboards). to rebuild a carb for my 58 10hp johnson. got exactly what I needed. the shipping was a little slow but it got to me in excellent condition. what I liked is that I called them on the phone and talked to an actual person without all the voice prompts and wasn't transfered from person to person. I think it is a one-man shop but could be wrong. as far as should you run it. sure you can get a lot of enjoyment out of it running it in a barrel in you driveway showing it off to you friends. you can get a LOT more enjoyment showing it off to you friends while it pushes you around on the lake. I think that carb has 2 needle valve adjustment low and high idle. I have a good resource for making the adjustment but is on another website and not sure if I can post it here or not. PM me and can send it to you if you with along with other info. [/QUOTE]
