You claim you want to replace it so you don't have to adjust it.   But if 
you bought a new carb, you would have to adjust it a LOT more than this one 
which is already 90% of the way there.   And a new carb won't work any better 
than what you have, which is fairly well optimized for your situation.

Just adjust the secondary float down a bit, and call it good.   There are 
undoubtedly other ways you could spend several hundred dollars?
