Personally I feel the best place for that setup is in the trash.

Parts are a BIG problem with the Bendix system.

Lots of good Walbro's out there or a Mikuni conversion is very straight forward and has been done by many of us.

In that case you are probably correct in keeping it as built.

There was a memeber that had some gasket kits remanufactured for the Bendix setup.
