I used to rebuild a lot of carbs back in the day, I was the carb rebuild guy in the shop. Its a lot harder to find a good quality carb to rebuild these days because most are getting quite old, throttle bushings are getting bad on most cores. Many of the "new" carbs are not up to the quality the ones from the 60s -early 80s were (and those 80s carbs were very good either), and the current kits leave a lot to be desired as well.

The last vehicle I owned with a carb on it was wrecked in 2011 (nothing to do with the carb). Everything is now EFI and I won't be going back to carbs. Gene
