Old cast iron and will just about sew a truck hood if you take your time. I have some older ones too, one that is a treadle and the other a hand crank. All 3 I restored in my shop just like I do cars, lol.
    Yeah it wasn't so bad after she showed me where I went wrong. Apparently I took it to far apart as I didn't notice the spool holder cage pops out lol.
    In my defense I did put it back together correctly
    I messed around with it for a bit and feel like it is totally doable- me thinks, me might be thinking wrongly though

    They look far worse than they are. Just like anything else.

    You dive into a carb not knowing anything you can get in over your head with all the tiny parts, levers, and rods. Rebuild a few and you can do it in your sleep.
