I think this is the same sucarbs.com that I worked with in May/June this
year. It used to be in Pueblo, Colorado, now the web page says it's in
Wichita, Kansas. If you call and talk to Chester, then it's the same guy
who did mine.
He rebuilt 2 sets of my SU HS2. One set was on the car, wouldn't stay in
balance, poor performance, etc; the other set was in a box partially
disassembled with no linkage. I haven't had any problems with his work.
I'd definitely use him again.
The polishing is outstanding. Dashpot covers, body, linkages, etc look
like they were chromed. The only bad thing is that it makes the rest of the
engine look old<g>

Subject: [TR] su carb overhaul source
I need to rebuild a pair of HS-4 carbs. They need a full overhaul including
throttle shaft bushing replacements. After finding the best parts cost on
the
web I came up with $170 for parts for both carbs. I checked with the CAR
component of the RF and they will do the throttle shafts for $135/pr. That
brings the total to $305. I found SUCarbs.com on the web and they will do
the
whole job for $325 including all needed parts and shipping. They also
polish
the dashpots, use stainless screws and will include cleaning the heat shield
and manifold at no extra cost.
Has anyone had any experience with this company? Sounds great but I'd like
some feedback first.
TIA
Pete
