Can anyone recommend shops or individuals in the area that rebuild/rebush early VW carburetors? I have a 30 PICT-1 with a leaky throttle bushing. Thanks!

This guy is in Monticello. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=518615 I don't know anything about him.

Clyde may be able to rebush it. I know he can rebuild them.

I realize this is an old thread but that guys name is Keith and he rebuilt & rebushed a couple of carburetors for me and they have been running great. He also does other jobs on volkswagen if you inquire about it.

Just got my carb back from keith. So THAT is how my beetle is supposed to run! He did a great job and had a quick turn around since he knew I needed it for bugapalooza. I would recommend him to anyone needing a carb cleaned or rebushed.

I might have paid too much ($100) but he rebushed it, put in a new welsh plug (I think that is what it's called), derusted it and dipped it in a ultrasonic bath. It looks and drive like a brand new carb. Plus once he knew we were going to bugapalooza, he put a rush on it.

If it is an original Solex German carb, $100.00 isn't too much.

Then you didn't pay too much.
