Also the carbs without the choke horns cost MORE than ones with the horn, WTF is up with that?
I can see how some of the new aluminum carbs with the billet bodies, metering blocks and throttle plates could cost more but zinc is cheap and old technology.

Yup, that's my point. A brand new 4150 750DP is $434. You can grab a used one and trick kit it for $250 at the most.
