Thank you for pointing that out and my apologies for my mistake. I haven’t looked at the market since 2019. I did a quick search and found many project cars which would need some body work in edition to what the OP is looking to learn. Learning about fuel injection instead of naturally aspirated it is then with the early 90s/2000s. :)

I would have thought with the replacement of gas powered lawnmower type engines with electric that it would be easy to find a used 5hp Briggs and Stratton to overhaul. A lot of the commercial landscapers around here still use gas powered tools.

The Holley (or Carter) carburetors were pretty easy to find on eBay. Some that looked like they would need a rebuild kit seemed rather inexpensive, in the $50 dollar range.

Looking at the prices of the Datsun Z-Series, wish I kept mine. Who knew they would rise in value so much! I think I paid $2000.00 for a used one in great condition back in the day. They are an absolute blast to drive!

This thread has me wanting to pick up a project truck from the 50s or 60s. Fun hobby, brings back memories of when I worked on restoring cars at Barrett Jackson.

I mean, if you wanna be on a high carb diet, lots of great motorcycles used carbs into the 2010s. Hell, Suzuki will sell you a brand new DR-Z400 with a Mikuni!
