Carb rebuilders Who do i use???

[Davy Doherty]

I need to have my early Z1 carbs sorted, Who is the best to use, They need a total strip down, clean,polish, probably some parts plated, and then rebuilt ready to bolt on?Anyone use someone they can recommend.??

Doesn't Steve Smethurst do that

[ZED1-18again!!]

Have to say, Mr Smethurst's work usually nice an shiny, but poo otherwise! Try Pitstop M/Cs, 01942-684684.(Tony)

Davy, Chris Rivett stripped and re-built the carbs off my Z1B recently and did an excellent job. He has an ultra sonic tank for cleaning too.
Speak to him, i am sure he can help.

how much does he charge, Phil?

I've used Steve Smethurst's process and while nice on the outside inside was a different story, also tried the business in Aylesbury who just chemi clean, again nice original type finish on the outside but gel-like substance in the important airways. I spent ages trying to recover both sets without sucess and they both looked like new.

I'd give Chris Rivett a try, he'll persevere to get them right.

Thanks for the help lad's,, Chris has already got my clocks and a few other bits at the moment so i'll ring him and see what he say's,
i'll let yous see how it goes in "restoring my 72 Z1" in the projects section.

NRP in manchester quoted me £300 for the full hit: inside and out. Tommy . A bit too much for me.

[Steve Cooke]

£300 that's about £250 too much
