Need a good carb guy in the Phoenix area

[floatn turd]

Howdy,

Need my Carbs rebuilt and tuned.
My normal guy is MIA.

Don't really want to yank the boat down to Parker or Havasu if I don't have to.

Any recommendations?

Thank you.

I recommend you replace the accelerator pump diaphragms and run it.

1- typically we want to see your wife in your posts.

2- I would call Octane and ask Jeff who he’d recommend. It’s probably not his game, but I trust his advice.

^^^This^^^ that will be your most likely leak point

I battled mine for a few months, turned out to be seals on idle mixture screws.

@floatn turd there is a really good guy in Havasu if all else fails.

I hear ya and will probably do the trick.
But
I make it to the River so few times now days.
I'd rather do the full-pull and not chance it shutting on my trip.

That is exactly what happened to my 1 trip last year.

The accel pump diaphragms turn to rocks in a few months with today's gas.

If it starts and runs good (just lags on tip-in), try and push the pump arm down with your finger. (Below the spring, not above it).

It should push down Easily and gas should come out of the squiters.

My guess is...

They won't push down easily, and no gas will come out!

If ALL the above are true, just replace the pump diaphragms. The way your carbs are mounted, you probably won't even have to pull the carbs to replace em.

Gimme a call if you need Any help.

I just had my Holley 750 done by Bruce at Carbs Unlimited in Peoria. Pricey, ($395) but he delivered and is a wealth of knowledge. I almost just bought a new carb, but he swore that the new Holleys are China junk and its worth to keep the one I had. I dunno? I needed in a rush also.

Thats what my guy said also. Diaphragm was rock solid.

Thats what I thought also. He was just showing his age I think

Yank them off and send them to John at C&J in Santa Fe Springs. Had him go through and tune my Brawlers brand new out of the box.

Thanks for posting this; unfortunately just talked with Bruce since we live in Peoria and he won't work on high performance carb(s). We have a Dominator 1050 on top of our 1997 Mercury 525SC engine.

A shop did recommended that guy.
But he said that he is pretty much retired and is traveling alot of the time now days.

He's on my list to call tho.

Yep.

No clue how you tune a carb that's not attached to an engine. Pure luck I suppose?

John will have you fill out a sheet with all the engine specs, drive or trans specs down to impeller size. All I’ve had to do with the carbs he’s done was adjust idle. Between him and Steve Brule they were the go to’s and would collaborate if you were dynoing a motor with a carb John did, not sure now with Steve being retired. But I trust John with every carb I’ve had done and hasn’t disappointed so far

This…
I built a 950 QFT for my 555” 4 years ago. Haven’t touched it since. Been excellent so far.

Bruce had a motor stand I saw that he says he used to tune , but I couldnt figure out how that works either. Lol. Eapecially on a boat

 

[obnoxious001]

Call East Valley in Apache Junction. Whoever answers, tell them Barry sent you.

 

[DLow]

Try Dan at Jett Performance Marine in North Phoenix. He did quite a bit of work on my friends blown Daytona jet and was excellent. It was actually the boat JBB (rest his soul) bought and trailered home during a hurricane. Crazy story.

I used Bruce for years. He does excellent work. I didn’t know he wouldn’t do high performance stuff.

Maybe it was the way I described the engine with the Weiand supercharger
