Maybe you can rebuild it yourself, 2 bbls are not too hard to do. Might save you some money. The carb rebuild kits come with instructions, just make sure you have a good clean work station and maybe take some photos before disassembly.
I would but I'm a complete noob and you guys would get tired of my constant questions on the site once I started. For $140 I can be very confident with what I'm getting and start a relationship with a shop I'll probably want to use in the future. I considered it but this is just something that I don't want to mess with.
Ah man for a fraction of that price Id offer my dad and his coworkers services. They rebuilt mine using a shop at work, only cost me $30 something for the rebuild kit.

Thanks for that link - it seems like a pretty good tutorial but these are the first two sentences, "Carburetor rebuilding can be intimidating. The sheer number of parts alone have been known to make grown men flee to a carb rebuilder. The job can be completed by anyone who possesses average mechanical ability and common sense". I don't have average mech. ability. It's alright thanks anyways, but the rebuild seems like a good option to me. Maybe I'll even post some pics up of the cars at this shop if I can so you guys will get something out of it.

Will there be a hole where the tag used to be though?
pls post pics of the cars at the shop!!! hey people how do u know when a carb should be rebuilt or not?

Well I didn't really get any symptoms but it's the original carb so rebuilding it is never a bad idea.

When you need to hold the gas to keep it running.
