Carburetor rebuild
Has anyone used "THE CARBURETOR SHOP" in Eldon Missourri for rebuild services? I'm considering sending my 4bbl there for rebuild & set up to run w/ the ethanol added gasolines that are being sold today. I just can't get it to run correctly even though I installed a complete overhaul kit myself.

Re: Carburetor rebuild
Most of todays kits have accelerator pumps that are not ethanol compatible even though many claim the are. After a few days the pump just swells up and gets stuck causing that dreaded stall/stumble on acceleration. The only ethanol compatible pump I have found so far is from: http://www.cliffshighperformance.com/acc-pump.html, not saying there aren't more, just haven't found them. Don't give up on your rebuild just yet, what are your symptoms?
