Rebuilding/Rejetting RB Dellorto

I have a Racing Beat Dellorto that came tuned for a stock 12A. The friend that had it moved to Colorado and had to have it rejetted by a local shop for the high altitude. He did not get the old parts or a list of what was changed.
Now I have it in Atlanta and would like to put it on my '85. I have a rebuild kit, have found the original jetting specs and have a source for spare parts.
Does anybody know someone who can rebuild/rejet this carb. I would prefer someone in th Atlanta area, but will ship it to whoever I think will do a good job.
Thanks.

Are you the same guy I was talking to about this on the big list? (Carlos?). If you arent, I can rebuilt it for you, but you will have to ship it because I am nowhere near Atlanta. I've got a write-up here: www.gruntled.com/Dellorto/Will-Jetting.html if you're are interested in what is involved in getting the carb working properly. Send me an email if you're interested.

The friend that had it moved to Colorado
wow this sounds like me but i didnt sell mine to a friend. I had my dell on my 81 gsl and had TONS of power. theres a few places you can get parts and stuff and almost any carb shop can rebuild it, they are pretty eazy to do. jetting is a diffrent story, its all trial and error. I had a hard time getting it dialed in on my street ported motor but finally did... till i moved to denver, then i sold it cus i got SICK of that.
