PostSubject: Carb rebuild   Carb rebuild EmptyFri Jul 11, 2008 1:55 pm

I decided to sell my slicks and throw the money straight into my pontiac. I decided I'd rebuild my 4 barrels with the money...I didn't know it would cost me all the money I got for my tires Shocked

$145 each. Seems outrageous to me
I'd do it myself except I've never done it before and so many things can go wrong with one i can't imagine 2. haha So I'll get it done right the first time.

When I got the tri power I was going to have the carbs rebuilt but they wanted $300 each!!!! I learned how to rebuild a carb REALLY quick. Very Happy

There's a guy on one of the Buick forums who runs a big carb restoration shop and all he told me was that way way way too cheap.

The $145 you were quoted? That would make sense though since I was quoted $300 for 1 two barrel.

If you can rebuild an engine you can rebuild a carb. Just be cafeful when disassembling and pay attention. It's really not that difficult. The worst part is getting you float levels and pump rod adjusted correctly. If you measure those right you're golden.

The carbs should be finished tomorrow. $290 for the pair or Carter AFBs. I won't pay it aagin. Next time I'll rebuild them myself.
