I'm not opposed to sending one or both to him, I can for sure see value in having someone experienced do the carb, but isn't the fuel pump easily rebuilt?

You can do the fuel pump, sure. Make sure you get ethanol safe diaphragm material. A nice thing about having Charlie do it is he sets them up and checks that they are only putting on 2.5 lbs of pressure.

If you can pressure check them after rebuilding and adjust if too low or too high, go for it for sure.
