Found a great carb rebuilder

[NextGen]

I posted this also on Samba -- Photo Bucket shut me out so I can not use the ING

Email me if want all the photos I have..


THe backfire was driving me crazy, so I figured may as well have my carbs rebuilt, do a tune up, and valve adjustment. I had a set of 30 year old 36 Dells that were on my 914 and I rebuilt them 20 years ago. These old carbs needed a pro build after all those years. Guys from this NG started to send me Personal Emails as to who they recommended. I called Rich Hunt from Simi Valley Calif.
He asked for all the specs on my engine and said not only will he rebuild my carbs, he will also customize it for my engine. Trust is what you look for in a rebuilder and that came fast, from the day he received my carbs. He said don't clean them I want to see them exactly as they looked when I removed them.
He sent me photos of my dirty carbs totally disassembled. Then Photos and videos of my every part in one photo cleaned. A video of how my butterflies were sticking and then cleaned with new bearing installed.

Told Rich I did not think it was the carb but he said send it back and he will recheck everything. A week later I received it back with cash to pay for my shipping to him.

I was about to take my bug to friend that does Exotic Cars and even Ratrods.

Rich called me and Joe I wish I was not 3000mile away so I could give you a hand. Let me hear the engine I started it and he said sounds like you have ignition wires crossed. I said no way, never touched them, I forgot I painted my fanhousing and removed some wires. Sure enough 3 and 4 cables were reversed.

He set my fuel mixture screws and idle screws to 1000 rpm and that is what my engine idled at. Out of the box the engine runs much better. Just have to retime and adjust mixture.

His price for a rebuild is $120 a carb plus and thing extra. Worth every penny.
Rich is Pro Motorcycle racer.
