G'day,

When I replaced the motor in my '96 coily I never got around to sorting out the vac lines in and around the carb properly so subsequent it has a bit of trouble starting. Scince I am going to sell it soon (mrs decides she wants a hatchback car now ) I want it to be right for the next owner. One thing I did notice is that the choke had been cabletied open as the spring has died on it (previous owners of carbie). It starts a lot easier if that is used (funnily enough), but still takes a few seconds to fire into a rough idle.

Anyway anyone know a good place to take it to fix up the vac lines properly and get her runninh sweet? I know suzistore would be the likely choice but it's a good 40 min drive from Banksia Grove. Alas anyone know the going rate for this kind Of job?

Cheers guys.

Carl.

Suzistore would be good, but I understand the distance issue. There is a good carby bloke in wangarra. Dunno if he is still open, but in another life I had some twin webers tuned there. U can see his sign as you come down the hill on ocean reef road, just near them kit homes

Had mine done there and it's been running great ever since. From memory though I think it cost me around $350... (can't find the receipt now and my build up thread doesn't seem to be there anymore)

EDIT: still not that close for you though...

For a good job sometimes you pay...and sometimes you need to travel

If you're thinking of a rebuild....i've heard good reports about Ray Genovese in osborne park for carbies....really likes the old school cars and actually cares unlike alot of other mechanics
