Stan,
My advise is to do a bit of homework in an effort to understand exactly
what is wrong with the carbs, if they are indeed the source of the problem,
then fix them. In principle, the Strombergs are quite satisfactory and
reliable when in good order. To swap them out for something else invites
more problems in getting the new system running properly, not to mention
the expense of doing it.
