It seems that the two premier rebuilders of these items monitor the list closely and frequently offer valuable information.

Keeping that in mind, does anyone have any information that would lead one to use one of them over the other?

To keep things even, I thought about using one for one and the other for the other. Any special choices in that respect?

I would suggest carefully packaging both in one large box to save on shipping. The carburetor should be double boxed to help keep the accelerator pump from being damaged. Putting the boxed carburetor in a larger box with the electrolock snaked around the smaller one should be okay.

That is definitely the way to package both the carburetor and the electrolock. The only downside of putting both items in one box is if the package gets lost then you have lost both items. With two separate packages then if one package gets lost you are only losing one item.

You will also want to make sure there are no traces of gas left in the carb. Enclosing in a zip lock bag would be a good idea. Also I have found that using the cartons supplied by the USPS helps to prevent loss.

I'm not sure how this got under cars and trucks for sale…obviously I was not careful. Also, I don't quite understand why it does not show up on my personal list.
Oh well, I got the answer, I guess it will be a coin toss!
