Default Good Rochester reference material

I have been given enough Rochester QJet parts to build a new one, so I am looking for a good rebuild book. This is one area I know nothing of, but I want to learn. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

You wouldn't by any chance have a choke pull off rod (goes from choke pull off to secondary) that you don't need?

Thanks guys, remember though, I'm in Australia

My mechanic is still pulling bits and pieces out of the wood work for me and as carbies are all new to me I have no idea what I have or what I need. If I have extras, where I can help I will try.

Easy Mike, that is one I was looking at in addition to "How to build and modify a Rochester" if anyone knows of it??

I'm a visual kind of guy and need lots of pic's to help me out, so the Lars paperwork I have reads well to me but it's all still a mystery.

thanks in advance and for the references
