The original subject was "Re: 9n carb leaking fuel when choke is open".
Old thread, new question.
My 2N is also leaking without shutting off the shut-off valve and I don't ever want to forget and have a fire or potential. So the last advice given above my reply is to buy a rebuilt carb. But when I go to Fuel System/Parts for the 2N I see that the rebuilt is more expensive than the new Marvel-Schebler replacement one.

New http://www.yesterdaystractors.com/Ford-2N_Carburetor-New_8N9510C.html
Question. Does anyone know if the new ones are considered inferior to the rebuilt ones? Sometimes newer ain't better.
I know rebuilding myself is cheaper, but I will do that with the one I take off, rather than get the $50 core charge back, so I can practice later.
