SPi Carb Rebuild

[Loganab13]

Hey guys,
I'm in the process of replacing the tempo fuel lines and tygon oil injection lines. I know the carburetor needs rebuilt, but I think that may be a little over my head after reading about how temperamental they can be. My question is, does anyone recommend somewhere that I can ship the carb to, and get it rebuilt for a decent price?

I can do it too if Tony is busy. I have the parts instock.

Okay, I will PM you [MENTION=41828]Minnetonka4me[/MENTION].

Hey Minnetonka, I sent you a PM but i'm not sure if it went through or not. Please let me know.

Another question- how exactly is the carb removed from the intake manifold? there seems to be two 12mm nuts on either side of the carb, but neither has room to fit a wrench on them. What am I missing, it seems like I'm the only one to have this problem!

It can be done...just gotta get them loose and you can use your fingers.

I ended up just pulling the rotary valve cover off- I made sure the valve stayed in place so I wouldn't have any timing issues. I'm glad I did, it ended up showing me how brittle the tiny rotary valve oil lines were and I ended up replacing those. I'm honestly surprised how clean this ski is.. the paint is still intact on almost every bolt! I'll see if I can post some pics of her here one of these days.
