Another carburetor question. Please give ur thoughts and advice.
Im getting ready to invest some money on my carburetor rebuild. Gas is only spitting out of 1 jet at time and bogs a lot now starving 4 gas. At 1 point gas came out the air bleed and no where else . I am aware that i am up 4 a rebuilt. I am going to bring it to the shop because of my inexperience. My thing is after the rebuild and everything that is needed to b replace and washed 4 the carb is done will my baby run back to normal and stop having gas comming out the air bleed. 1 more thing is a carb rebuilt a garentee fix.

Airflow is my life
Sounds like alot of plugged up passages. Part of our rebuild is soaking the parts in a VERY strong carb cleaner and after rinsing, all the passages are blown out. While I couldnt gaurantee that your CAR will run right after we rebuild your carb, I CAN gaurantee that your CARB will be as good as new and run perfectly. If you have other problems with the car, then obviously the carb wont fix those. Compare what Sterling said to what your local mech will charge.

And if you pay the preice that the DFW area shop asks for a "regular" rebuild, Carl or Sterling will take that carb and turn it into the most amazing masterpiece of carbureted horsepower-making art I've ever seen!
And when I replace my fuel pump, I'll tell you how the uber-carbs perform

-Sounds like a trap if I ever heard one!

It's exactly what I was saying a few days ago.
"I fixed the tank, replaced the lines, replaced the filter and installed the carb. I've checked for vacuum leaks, checked for compression, replaced the spark plugs. I've got a new battery and terminals, and the plug wires and dist cap check out. I've got my K&N cleaned and oiled. I've replaced the entire brake system. Okay... I've got the carb in, there's nothing else wrong. It'll start now
*tries to start it*
well ****.. the fuel pump is dead. Dang"

Anyways, I'm looking for a nikki I can buy for dirt cheap to send you for beauty care. You don't happen to have one laying around that you would like to sell for $20? I would send you $200 for it plus the rebuild service.
