They rebuilt the carb for $500 then charged me an addl $250 to fix it. The fix/adjustments they made caused the transmission to fail. Speedwell had to rebuild the carb again (said it was totally screwed up) and fix the "adjustments" that they did to the linkage prior to rebuilding the transmission.
They charged you a total of $750 to rebuild the carb? Boy, they had you over the barrel! I hope they rebuilt your trans for free after that.
As for the water tube, like Owen said you have to jack up the front of the engine, remove the grille, and of course the radiator, to get the tube out. I also recommend flushing the engine out with a garden hose, as you'll be amazed at the amount of crud that's in the engine.
If you need any pointers and want to talk over the phone, send me a PM and I'll give you my # and can walk you through the procedure, as well as a few other things concerning your trans, etc.
