Super clean!! It's your rig... but its special when they are this original with the provenance and all the other expensive words that don't matter. I'm even into the old-school replacement red hoses, not sure where you would buy those now. Carb looks clean too, recent rebuild?

This is the only info I have that was folded up in the carb page of the repair manual.

$OR was expensive even back in the day, lol.
