Ebay is a good place for one "needing" repair -- even if advertised as "perfect" -- good chance it may "need" repair.

Brattons sells brand new ones, for about $350. The first one they shipped me had big problems with the accelerator butterfly--it froze up in about 15 minutes. They replaced it immediately, but I haven't had time to put the 2nd new one on yet. Will let you know how that goes. Skip

I bought a 5 gallon bucket of tillys for $10. Put two carbs together and still have a bucket of parts. They are out there.

I've restored 25+ of these. Hardest part is if main jet is stuck, you then have to drill it out. The welch plugs are hard to find. Some non-standard threads too but 1/4-32 taps are available on ebay. Some non standard nuts as well.
