Parts alone don't fix old carburetors.
Experience does.

We don't "put 'em back together just the way the factory did";
we build and update 'em to last and to function correctly in
the twenty-first century --- and we make 'em look authentic, too!!

Please send a detailed description of the work,
the carburetor's model number (if known)
and a $100 per piece deposit ONLY ..and hold the
actual work until we contact you. We have limited space, and are running out of room to store customer's work. When shipping work to The Old Carb Doctor (or sending a deposit without the work enclosed), PLEASE include in your note whether or not you want your carburetor and/or fuel pump to be cosmetically resorted (made to looke new); it REALLY does help me to know this in advance of starting the job!
Thanks

TURN-AROUND TIME:
4 months +
Please call 800-945-2272 for details.

Welcome to The Old Carb Doctor, where skilled functional and cosmetic restoration of your original equipment-type carburetor or fuel pump has been our only business since 1989; we do not have parts, kits, cores or finished carburetors for sale. Below are just some of the techniques typically employed in the process of a high-quality restoration of your carb and/or pump core:

*Digital photographs taken for reference prior to  (and sometimes during) disassembly - this  applies   particularly to very unusual or early  carbs.
*Complete disassembly and thorough cleaning  of all components.
* Checking all specifications and characteristics   for accuracy.
* Replacing or re-seating of all passage plugs.
* Rebushing of throttle shaft bores.
* Resurfacing or press-matching of all gasket /  diaphragm mating surfaces.
* Updates to address various driveablitiy problems are performed on most carburetors.
* Bead-blasting of all castings to remove  oxidation and corrosion.
* Tumble-polishing of all steel and brass components.
* Appropriate refinishing of all blasted and  polished pieces.
* Reassembly of refinished components using  high quality parts and modern sealing  methods.
* Installation of a new cork or nitrophyl plastic  float (where used), or reconditioning /  replacement of brass float.
* Adjustment to bench specifications whenever  available.
* Multiple wet and dry bench tests of your  completed carburetor or pump to ensure  predictable     operation.
* Provision of a warranty against functional  defects in material and workmanship for a  period of six   months from installation (please  see important warranty details and  limitations on warranty page).

At The Old Carb Doctor, we do not shy away from "going a bit farther" to ensure a satisfying experience:

* We urge you to send any brass fuel or air fittings installed on your carb/pump so that we can detail them and ensure that they fit properly without leaks. Fittings will be returned in the same position and orientation in which they arrived.
*Upon returning your restored components to you, we double-box and double-address them and insure them to a realistic value, and we strongly suggest that you send them to us in like manner. Loss or damage is extremely rare when this shipping technique is used.
*We maintain a dialogue with our customers to ensure that we are "on the same page" to minimize any sort of disappointment.
* We try our best to accommodate realistic turn-around time requests -- but please be aware that I haven't figured out how to clone myself yet, hence I can only accomplish so much work in so much time when we are "slam covered up"!

Here at The Old Carb Doctor, we work on a wide range of carburetors through 1980 and mechanical screw-together fuel pumps through the mid-sixties. It is easier to enumerate those components upon which we do not work than to list those which we do. What follows is a brief list of the fuel systems on which The Old Carb Doctor does not work:
We DO NOT restore:
* Fuel injection units of any type.
* Electronic feedback carburetors.
* Holley carburetors.
* Chandler-Grove one-barrel carburetors used on late 1930s Packards.
* Some Japanese carburetors of later manufacture.
* Most aftermarket carburetors.
* "Hot Rod" carburetion.
* Aircraft carburetors.
* Electric fuel pumps.
* Crimped-together fuel pumps (those not assembled with screws).
* Foreign-built fuel pumps.

PLEASE READ:

Here at The Old Carb Doctor, high-quality restoration service of OEM-type carburetors and fuel pumps is all that we provide. WE DO NOT SELL KITS, PARTS, CORES OR RESTORED CARBS OR PUMPS! ADDITIONALLY, WE DO NOT PERFORM PIECEMEAL WORK - ONLY COMPREHENSIVE RESTORATIONS! Throttle base rebushing is the only exception to this policy. Sorry, but calls for other than restoration services will not be returned; doing so is simply too time-consuming and costly for a small operation such as ours to absorb.

A deposit of $100.00 per carburetor and $50.00 per fuel pump is usually requested to accompany each job. This is primarily to help defray the cost of purchasing parts, or the cost of return-shipping carburetors or fuel pumps which are found to be beyond economical repair. In such a case, the balance of the deposit not used for return shipping is refunded to the customer. There is no charge for estimates.

Thanks for visiting; we hope that you will choose The Old Carb Doctor for all of you antique fuel system restoration needs.
