Carburetor rebuilding service:
If you are looking to have your carburetors rebuilt, primaries and secondaries, you came to the right place. The work involves: take them apart, soak them in carburetor cleaner, inspect them to make sure they are complete and all parts are correct for that specific year. If any parts are missing or broken, don't worry, we can supply some new or good used ones. If the carburetors are still dirty after soaking, we will carefully media blast them. We will then re-assemble with a new throttle shaft, new choke pull-off, vacuum hose and rubber cap for the driver side carb., new stone filter and a complete carburetor kit. For those on a budget, many times, we can away with installing a Viton o'ring throttle shaft kit and re-use your choke pull-off if it is not broken; and then, we will test them in an engine at the shop to make sure everything is working properly, and semi-synchronize them. The reason we started taking this extra step a while back is that we were running into some problems with carburetors that had been rebuilt, the job was done right, but when installed, they would not perform properly. It's easy to forget that these carburetors are 50 some years old, sometimes, even if the unit looks fine, and after rebuilding and cleaning, the carburetor can just be worn-out and still not work right. So that is why we are taking this extra step at Rafee Corvair,that most other shops don't do. It will make it easy for you to install them in your ride, confident that they are ready to work. So don't hesitate to call us at 918-753-2486 for cost and time estimate. Most of the time, I prefer to rebuild your own carburetors. If I have to supply them, I can supply them too. Here are some pix of carburetor work.
This is basic rebuilding, if you want something fancier, we can do it for you.
Engine Rebuilding
When Rafee works on an engine, it is not merely to make it run, Rafee takes it a step beyond to what could be called an art form. A totally involving process that is very labor intensive, assembling and detailing an engine is one of Rafee's favorite moments and highest level of skill. Many work on engines, but a select few can do it right. Rafee stands behind his work not 100%, but 200 %.
