<VV> carb rebuild ???

[Larry Forman]

Hi,
Not sure about #1 and #3 but for #2, I actually prefer a much stronger 
spring for the pump return spring.  It makes the carbs self closing, so if 
you break a throttle return spring, the carbs will self close.  I generally 
purchase these from my local hardware store and cut them to the right 
length.  FYI, the Corsa Tech Guide and Supplement has excellent and 
detailed instructions for step by step carb rebuilding as well as pictures 
describing all the carb model year changes.  I think 52's are fine and I 
think that some people move up to 53's.
