What would you do? (Briggs)

I could use a few opinions on what to do,I've been working on starting my Dad's Briggs engine collection.The problem I find myself in is that one of the FH models was missing the flywheel and the carburator.I took and reworked a flywheel from a model Y and built a carb.The engine now runs pretty good but not perfect,now for the problem.While digging around Dad's garage I found what most likly is the original carb.,should I put the original on or leave my home made one on?What do you all think?

Thanks for your opinions; Mark:

Strictly my personal opinion, but I like having my engines set up with the correct parts...they're worth more that way as well.

I would definitely re-build the original and try and make it work if at all possible. My 2c worth.

mark. by all means put the original back on. the worst that could happen is it not working and you putting yours back on. just my thoughts. bernie.
