all i had to do was ask...
and, al, i would think if your shop had to rebuild a carburetor you'd have to order it from somewhere... that's the only reason i asked.
NOT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS LOOKED LIKE A PEP BOYS.  'cause it obviously doesn't.  i can buy wheels and tires but no carb rebuild kit.  wonderful place, sears.   
  
and, thanks, amy.  at least there are still some helpful people around.
