Good, but look in the carb bore anyway. Mine was a manual conversion from a water choke, and I had omitted a little o-ring in the rebuild kit (hey, the instructions SAID "you may have parts left over

Boy, Dave, you are tolerant! Yes it's a cure. But it may be cheaper to buy a good Stromberg. I did, for $50 plus the price of another rebuild kit (which, like you, I was pretty good at by then!). Yup
