You shouldn't. Knowing Charlie as I do, he's even more eager to have it fixed than you are. Things happen during shipping.

I agree things can happen during shipping, which is likely what happened. I think he did a great job with the carb! car runs so much better now. As bad as it leaked before, I'm grateful he took on my carb job as I don't have the know-how to do what he did. I didn't expect the 73 year old metal to seal perfectly. Long story short - I'm happy! Not too worried about the slight seepage.
