Anyone know of good carb rebuilder in the South Sound, Washington

  1. Pretty sure the carb in my 56 Nomad is acting up again. We put a kit in , but it may need a new float and other things. It's worn out and may be in need of having throttle shafts rebuilt. I was trying to take it up to the Tripple XXX drive in for the TRI-FIVE show but looking it may not happen. Thanks... Rob-RedM

    sounds like a piece of cake,
    I might have a core if yours is really trashed

    These guys have parts for just about anything. I rebuild carbs myself but they can do it for you. I got parts for my Carter W1s here. Reasonable prices. The website say they are in Auburn but I have never been there. I go the the Kent location.

    when is the show?
     
  8. Hi Paul, The tag is missing off my carb. I haven't taken it off yet, I can get some cast numbers maybe off the body if that will help any. Let me know if you have a core, that is rebuildable , I'll pay you for it. Thanks !
     
  9. I can do it!

    or if you want a professional I have used these guys in the past. Not south sound. But they do great work.

    Joe's is one of the best in the business.
    We used to race roadsters together in the 50's
    when he got started doing carbs.
