You can find the Marvel carbs for cheap from farm tractor supply dealers and used through the same. The very same Marvel carb I had on my Continental 0200 was standard on many Oliver and White farm tractors. Others too I am sure. In fact when I needed to buy a rebuild kit for the 0200 I had on my Varieze, I bought the kit at a White tractor dealership. As I recall it was only $ 28.00
The only difference in the tractor version is it was made of cast steel instead of cast aluminium for the aircraft version. So the weight difference is considerable.
