Let me play Devil's Advocate:
This seller advertised them as a "very good set" and "possibly needing a overhaul"
Actually, the ad says "good", not "very good". In typical overhyped eBay-speak, "good" usually means fair. The ad also doesn't say they "possibly" need a rebuild. It indicates they DO need a rebuild. The photo shows the carbs lying carelessly on a dirty concrete floor. That alone would have turned me away!
I'm not sure what the value of a "good" set of Webers is, but $511 seems low. (i.e., there was a guy who bought a 'Rolex' wristwatch on eBay for $200. When he received it and realized it was a fake, he gave the seller negative feedback. The seller rightfully replied "Did you really think you were buying a genuine Rolex for $200?").
On the other hand, the missing and/or broken parts are unacceptable for something advertised as "complete". Obviously, the seller checked these carbs over closely because he indicated in detail the conditon of the throttle shaft bushings! I say, Get your money back!
BTW: there's a BRAND NEW set of Weber 40 IDA's on eBay right now!
