Jeff -
I don't recall precisely, but they're not cheap ($250-$275, something like
that). I did the work myself: pull the carb out of the way, six bolts, a
light thump with a mallet and the old one's out. Fitting the new one is
easy as well.
I wouldn't go and replace it just to test. I was tracking down an exhaust
leak when I disconnected mine from the manifold and took a peek down the
neck. That's when I started ordering new parts.
Jeff, since you live up around Kenyon, you could probably get away for a
while with a straight through pipe from an earlier 1500, which runs less
than $80 from Moss. Matter of fact, I may have one available. E-mail me
privately to discuss parts or getting together to put more hands to the
task.
