I pointed out that with the change in altitude he will likely want to run different jetting or a different carb from the worn out one that is on there. He just emailed and asked if he sent some extra money would I put a new carb on.

So here are the options I've come up with. Going to pick one to respond to him with

A) He orders the carb he wants and sends it here and I'll install and get it running

B) He orders the carb he wants and brings it with, I help him swap...

I really want him to make the choice on carb and jetting, as I don't want to pick something that won't work well for him! Really leaning towards option B
Hang onto it for your career change and use it for a test article.
