I've decided to get the Weber 32/36 DFEV carb kit, ordered one for $295, which includes S&H. I'm hoping to have it in time to install it over the 4th of July weekend. The replacement Mikuni carb purchase was a nightmare, not something I would recommend (QualityAutoParts.com).

When you read the fine print in their "warranty", it varies by the type of part you buy. On carbs, the only thing their warranty covers is that the carb can be rebuilt, not that it's fully operational. I went round and round with their customer service people, telling them that had I known that's all their warranty covered, I would've gotten my carb rebuilt. Their initial offer was a $50 credit towards getting my replacement carb rebuilt, and when I asked them where was I supposed to get it rebuilt, they told me any Mitsubishi dealer, lol! So after yelling at them some more, they said they'll email me a return authorization, and to ship it back to the seller (a towing and "auto parts" place in WA!), and they'll either give me a full refund, or charge me a 25% restocking fee and refund the rest. So I yelled some more, and it looks like I'm getting a full refund now.

So in my attempts to save about $100, I ended up going thru this nightmare, not something I would recommend. This Weber kit should be a direct bolt-on, with a new carb, new air filter, gaskets, etc. And since I already have "experience" swapping the stock carb, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this Weber kit will be fairly easy. The fuel, water hose, and linkage connections should be obvious, I just hope the instructions are pretty clear on what to do with all those vacuum lines and rubber caps!
