Carburetor Rebuild Shop
Was looking through the archives for a carburetor rebuild shop but all of the posts seem dated.
I am in need of a rebuild/overhaul for my MA-4SPA, and I am looking for a recommendation.
Local to the PNW would be even better.
I'm not opposed to just swapping it out but mine has an over-sized jet that Ly-Con fitted to my carb during the engine runs on the test stand,, way back when,, and I don't want to lose it.
Thanks in advance!

D&G Supply
Look up D&G Supply online. They just did two for me and did a fantastic job. I took pictures of the carb before I sent it in and could not believe it was the same one I got back. It was perfect.

Just out of curiosity what's a typical rebuild cost? I'm in the same boat.

When I had mine overhauled I was told by several carb shops that only the factory was capable of flow testing. Mine ran about $880.00. You may want to consider changing out the aluminum fuel connection fitting. Also, it appears that the plug opposite the fuel inlet locking tabs are not bent over.

Check these guys out in the DFW area. WWW.aircraftcarbs.com. Tel. (940)6482277. FAA approved repair station. I've had them do my MA3, Stearman carb, Christen Eagle fuel injection. Great work, reasonably priced.
