Hi all,
I just acquired this bike

It's a 68. I wish it ran as good as it looks. I've done all the tune up stuff, (valves, new points, timing, plug, cleaned carb 3 times) and I still have a stumble/missing off idle, especially noticeable in 1st gear. I think my choices are new coil, different timing or a new carb.
I saw this on ebay. Link It's a rebuild kit for a K0 carb. I don't know what I'll gain for $24 that another good cleaning won't accomplish.
Then there's this. Link It's a new replacement carb for $60.
Do any of you folks have an opinion? Anything else I should try? I defer to your expertise. This is my first CT and maybe I'm expecting too much out of this very primitive carb set up. After I get past the stumble, the bike runs fine. I just hate that sputter it has.
TIA,
Eric
