    Reputable Webber carburator rebuilder

    I have a 32/36 webber off a ford escort that needs a rebuilt, does anyone know a good place to get it done and roughly how much it would cost?

    I know its a bit far fetched perhaps for you, but there is a small shop called West Side Carburator something something. They specialize in i think all carbies and should be able to help.

    Its on Write str just infront of Totenham train station.

    Scratch that, its not a webber. Its a motorcraft. I was told it was a webber.

    take it to a carb shop and see what they say.

    rebuild should be about 150-200 iirc. You could whack a seal kit in it for about 50 or 60 bucks, but only if you're methodical and good with fiddly stuff, and the carb is in reasonable condition to start with..

    I had the two Zenith carbs on my other car rebuilt for $120. Only money I've had to spend on it in over 2 years.

    The Motorcraft marking means its built by Holley ( under license from weber ) so its very similar to the weber 32/36.
    Its probably a 'Holley G180' of the '5200 series' which is sometimes confused with the weber because of their visual similarities.

    As others have said you could take it to a carby shop or give it a good clean and put a kit through it yourself
