[TR] TR6 carb rebuild - replacing the jet, vendor experience

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

Brian,

I think many members on the list will vote for Paltech.  For the price, his
work cannot be beat.  He is easy to work with, they look brand new when he is
done.  I highly recommend him.

In disassembling the carbs on my 1973 TR6 (175CD-2SEV), I noticed that the
orifice in both jets has been worn into an oval. Assuming that this is not
good, Ive searched through several references (Bentley, Hayes, Buckeye) and
no one talks about replacing these jets. Is that some that a mere mortal
can do in his own garage with normal tools  or should this be done by a
professional shop instead?

Thinking that sending them to a rebuild shop might be an option, I looked at
a Paltech (http://www.paltech1.com/) who are now selling carb rebuilds on
eBay. Has anyone had any experience with this vendor? Are there other ZS
carb rebuild vendors out that I should look at instead?

Thanks so much in advance,
