How hard is it to rebuild a carburetor?

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Thanks,
Dennis

Is that 50 total or 50 after I buy the rebuild kit?

I don't think it is that hard just very tiny jets and springs and stuff like that. Of course I have only done 1 and 2 barrell carbs no 4 barrel ones! Good luck!

To me, its not hard, but frustrating as hell and time consuming...But depends on how quick you need the rebuild too...Is it for the bird??

For the bird, yes. I think the float is fucked or the choke, I have to sit there and zoom zoom it until it gets warm before it will stay running on its own.

Sounds like the float is sticking or a needle valve is clogging up!
