Default Carb Help

I am looking for an accelorator pump for 66 289 2bl carb.(Mine is warped) I have tried everywhere and am having no luck. And if I can not find the part I need, does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement carb? I'm trying to keep this vehicle original if I can.

I had kind of the same problem....I twisted off a screw inside the carb and had no luck getting it out. I bought an original 2100 for 145.00 completely rebuilt. It runs great! The couple that rebuilds them is on eBay. I will try to find her number and pm you with it.Jeff

Put sand paper180-200 on something flat and rub it until it's flat again. Everyone I have ever seen is warped. If you find one that isn't, the previous owner already did it for you.

Thanks for the replies. I sanded it down over the weekend and so far no leaks.
