Then I Googled him and found this page that looks like his https://cliffshighperformance.com/ but without perusing the entire site, it looks like he rebuilds carbs you (I) send, and I don't have one to send in for rebuilding. So, in the forum link, on reply #7 Beetle linked to a Summit remanufactured q-jet. The part number on that page no longer exists, but it had a link to another page https://www.summitracing.com/tx/part...0216/overview/ that seems to be the same thing. Do you think I would have to do very much tuning to get that to work in an off road application? Or do you think it would be good to go straight out of the box?

Thanks again for the help!
Any reman is still going to need suited to your engine, and it doesn't sound like they re-bush the throttle shaft on those so they still aren't ideal. They do look pretty though!

I'd look around for a good core, and then you can get Cliff's super rebuild kit. You give him your engine specs and he picks your rods, jets and idle air tubes.

If you don't feel comfortable doing that to a Qjet the summit one would probably work OK.
