There is another thread about this very subject.

The popular suggestion is to go for a Dellorto 36 / 40 set up.

Without physically comparing a pict 34 - 3 and a pict 34 - 4 side by side, it is difficult to tell thd differences between the two.

Maybe one day I might get it finished

There's a fella in Clacton who does full refurbs - including spindles - I believe. Don't know his name but if u search "clacton" on here, it should come up.
