You mean as a service to others I assume? No one at this time that we know of. Not sure I

They would all have the perfectly functional OEM needles and seats replaced by the incorrectly machined aftermarket ones found in all rebuild kits industry-wide, leading to instant flooding and a ruined carb.

It's rare when you find a carb that's been monkeyed with but still has the OEMs. Rare site indeed.

I have seen some of his "tricks" for rotary carbs. Youre seriously much better off doing the research and doing it yourself.

There's a rotary company in Texas that does rebuild/modifications similar (though likley not exact) to what Carl used to do (or at least similarities). We had one built by them for racing and they did an unreal job and relatively quick as well (1 month turnaround with shipping to and from Canada).

I'll try and dig up the thread I had on them but the thing runs perfectly and has a decent power increase.

Edit* Rotary Performance at rotaryperformance.com

Had a great experience with them last year.

Has anyone used Chicago Carburator? They get great reviews on Ebay and claim they car overhaul my stock '79 Nikki for $325? Does anyone here overhaul them? Jeff20B? My car runs great and idles at a little over 600 rpm. Recently the idle has started stumbling a little when the car is warm. Almost acts like the engine is loading up. I suspect it's the diaphram, but not sure. The car does seem to run a little rich and the black plate under the carb seems fairly wet with fuel. Not sure if that's typical or not. Car just rolled over 42K actual miles. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thx
