Common problem with the WWC was over-tightening the air cleaner wing nut would pull up and distort the air horn, and cause an internal vacuum leak. Other than that, the WWC was a good carburetor

Funky this topic is one of the reasons I love this place. Where else can you say "I found an old carb in an old wooden chest buried in an oil pit in the scrap yard that burned down in 1971. Here's a garbled number off the side. What can I do to rebuild it?".
Then get the part number, links to a rebuild kit, common problems to look for, the history of the carb, and it's parent's DNA sample mailed to the front door. Try doing that with most places and all you get is blank stares or some 15 year old kid telling you you're retarded for not buying some cheap chinese junk for 15.00 on bingbong.china.com
