I own an 85 GSL with a stock 12A. Are their any trustworthy service shops within teh Salem-to-Portland area that can perform a decent tune-up (especially the carb) and provide honest answers?

Thanks for your help!

 

A lot of people are pleased with Ground Zero, and I know a few people that have gone to cork sport. Those are the only two that I know of.

 

Go to pineapple racing! Rob is great at carburetors.

 

There is a secret tool to get a perfect tune up that is actually VERY cheap that most people don't know about. Surprisingly it is super easy to use and most people don't even know they already have it in their homes!

1. Locate your hands. (Normally located at the end of your arm on years 1940-2008 humans)
2. Bring them in front of your face about 7 - 10 inches depending on if you have glasses installed on your face or not.
3. Now if you look carefully, you will see everything you need to do the tune up yourself, that you know will get done right, and will cost a fraction of what it would cost to have a "professional" do it.

There are a couple bad side effect though. You MAY get dirty, and you MAY learn something new.

You have been warned.

 

Good write-up.

 

No problem, I would have uploaded pictures, but I couldn't find my camera.

 

I have to say there is honestly non better with a carb than Rob. Highly recommend Pineapple.

Ralph is no longer doing stuff. From what he told me, that he'll tune friends cars, but thats about it. CJ

 

Easy! Email RW-7 here on the forum. he rebuilt and modded my carb for very reasonable it I have had ZERO problems with it. Very friendly guy and does great work. Zero cold start issues, and gave me about 10-15 extra ponies Probably your best bet and he's in albany so its not that far.
