You did what?I'm not a "car guy", or at least I haven't ever been, but I'm learning with every new thing that goes wrong, or I want to improve, on my Iltis. I purchased a "lot" of Iltis parts in various conditions from someone in Quebec off of eBay - included was a carb. Since I didn't want to wreck my own on my first attempt ever, I figured I'd cut my teeth on this "spare" one first. It comes apart in two main pieces, I took out most of the rubber and plastic bits, and replaced several after soaking and scrubbing it in acetone. I let it take a cool acetone bath for about 6 hours before scrubbing it with a toothbrush.
Here are the results:

How well does it perform?

Well, I don't know yet... I have another three carb kits in the mail from http://www.dellorto.co.uk/ and I have to rebuild the carb installed on the Iltis too.
I wouldn't mind figuring out where the other O rings that I can find are to boot... but it seems difficult to find manuals for the Pierburg carb in English. Russian? German? Spanish? No problem!
