So before going to work I see that my new carb is in Parsippany NJ. So that means it comes today. When i get to work, I call the house and let them know if my box comes to call me and I'll skip the gym and go home and install my carb.
Everything is good until... DUN DUN DUN.
13 mm wrench... I don't have a 13 mm wrench. So I try the socket and because of the tight squeeze I can't find the nut.
So, I go down to the basement to my dad's GLOWING TOOL CHEST much like the soft warm glow coming out of Jack's Garage and I can't find the metric tools anyway.
Oh yeah... dad bought a bug.
So... I look around and see ALL the metric tools
Find the 13 mm wrench take off the carb.
Yay
I plug the whole with the trusty rag and scrap the old gasket off. It seemed like there were layers of gaskets.
Anyway, after I am finished scraping, I put on the carb and the rigged accelerator wire won't go through the hole.
See that the other side isn't stripped, I flip the wire over *pretty much there was clam holding the REAL accelerator wire to another wire that went to the carb* so I flipped the other wire around. 
I thought... this is just calling for an explosion. So  m-d2 I'm going to have to install the new cable on Tuesday morning. 
*Sigh*
Just one problem after another. <--- new motto.
