Reconditioning a double barrel webber carby
As the title suggests, I want to get the webber carby from my 2L Escort reconditioned.
I went and got a quote the other day. $210, and that was a minimum!
Is this about right, and if it is, is it a job I could do myself?
I wasn't expecting it to be so expensive!

That sounds a fair bit more reasonable...
Anybody know of any good places in Melbourne to get this job done that won't be too expensive?
I'm guessing it's not a job suitable for someone who has never done anything like that before...

Re: Reconditioning a double barrel webber carby
Ok, tried searching on
http://www.yellowpages.com.au for 'The carby shop', couldn't find it, so maybe they're not in business anymore - I'll try
http://www.whitepages.com.au first.
I did look around for carby specialists on the Yellow Pages, rang a few of them, and prices seem to vary from $210 to $260, so I guess that original quote wasn't as bad as I thought it was - just was a lot more then I expected...

It's all labour really, only thing I can really think of that will be replaced are the jets and a bunch of seals.

So, would it be hard to get the replacement jets and seals, and is it a particularly hard job?

Re: Reconditioning a double barrel webber carby
I had the stock Weber carby on my old XE reconditioned a little over 5 years ago, cost me about $160 then, so $210 now doesn't sound too bad.
