I built that thing when I was young and strapping and lifting 40 lbs
was nothing.  Now that my back reminds of of my age daily, I put
wheels on it.  In the form of the cheapest little hand truck HF sells.
The vertical pipes on the hand truck just happen to match up with the
width of the CBC's frame.  4 husky worm gear clamps to hold it in
place and I'm done.

Actually, in Onan World, I'm surprised that you got out that cheap.
Many years ago they wanted almost $400 for a new carb for my AJ!  It
was just a lawn mower carb, ferchristsake.  The only thing wrong was
that the hole where the throttle shaft went in was worn, allowing air
in and fouling up the mixture.  I ended up fixing the old one by
boring out the body and inserting a brass bushing.
