Specialty Carburetors Rebuilds Common And Classic Carburetors
If Specialty Carburetors doesn’t have the carburetor you need, they can rebuild the one you have. The company works with classic carburetors from the 1930’s to modern units in auto, truck, tractor, industrial and marine engines. They also repair and service most fuel injection systems and throttle bodies.
  “Our biggest challenges come with the older carburetors,” says Carlos Rosario at the company. “They are often warped so we have to do some surface milling. If we need parts, we have them made.”
  Rosario and his partner Carlos Nunes have many decades of experience in the business. They worked for a large carburetor rebuilder for 22 years and have run Specialty Carburetors for 23 years.
  “We often have to rebuild a customer’s core, though we do have quite a few in stock,” says Rosario. “We work on them all, imported and domestic, 4-barrel, 2-barrel or single.”
  In most cases, customers can simply call in an order for a rebuilt carburetor, and the company will ship it out with a label for sending back the old core.
  “When it comes to industrial and marine carburetors, there are so many variations we ask that they ship the original core in first,” says Rosario. “The number can be the same, but they have different shafts and components for different uses.”
  Prices vary with the condition of the carburetor, explains Rosario. While some people call to find out a price first, others simply send their carburetor in for repair or rebuilding.
  “We tell them what it will cost to fix it,” he says. “It will still be less expensive than buying a new one, whether OEM or after market.”
