No lie, or how many know what happens when you charge a condenser and then throw it to someone that actually catches it...
OP, I tore apart and rebuilt my first quadrajet carb, (quadra-junk to those of you familiar with them), when I was 11. My dad was considering buying a rebuilt one, so I figured no harm no foul. Rode my bike to the local parts house, slapped it on the counter, asked for a kit and anything else I might have needed and they hooked me up... Cost me about 30 dollars at the time, kit, float, and three or four cans of chem cleaner... Took it home, carefully tore it apart, and studied everything... cleaned it all up, changed out all the replacement parts, put it back together and when dad got home, we tried it out... It was still running fine when we got rid of the car years later...
Like was mentioned, get an old lawn mower at a junk sale and see if you can get it running...
