Why should I restore my Carburetter?

Carburetters are often the most overlooked part of a classic car.

This is because they look like static objects with no moving parts other than the throttle and choke. But every drop of fuel you use passes through your carburetter's tiny jets and passages. Over the life of your car that adds up to a lot of fuel - 4,000 gallons or more - and eventually there may come a time where no amount of tuning will eradicate poor running.

Inevitably erosion will occur as the fuel itself is abrasive, and throttle spindles wil wear just like any other shaft. A slack shaft will allow an incorrect fuel/intake mixture into the engine, leading to erratic running that is impossible to cure.

The only solution is restoration of the carburetter, returning it to full working health without destroying the integrity of your classic.
