[TR] su carb overhaul source

[Mike Welch]

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>

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
