Where do you send your Schebler carburetor to be "gone through"?

We are aware of Roberts Carb... just wondering about others too.

Thanks!
 
You might want to give it a whirl yourself first. Not nearly as hard as they look and fellas here will walk you thru any issues. If befuddled, you can still ship it out after. I do all mine and, honestly, will never qualify as a great engine mechanic. :)

Nothing more satisfying than hearing something that did not run come to life and knowing that you did that.
 

The one big thing to remember when rebuilding or just repairing a carburetor is to be gentle. If that bolt will not come out, apply a little heat and some lubricant and be patient. Do not ever force anything.
 
Mike at PopinJohn has rebuilt several of my MS/Zenith carbs on my antique tractors. Very quick and professional work. Call Mike @ 845-626--5870
 
The kit is sold almost everywhere. The rest is cleaning. If you have a jet which is plugged, it can be cleaned carefully with a piece of good aircraft lock-wire. Go by a small airport and ask for a foot of medium lock-wire. Buy a can of carb cleaner, and have at it.

If you don't do well, send it out after.
 
Unless you need the throttle shaft housing bored out and replaced with bushings because of wear, most of the time just cleaning and installing a kit yourself works fine. I know that doesnt fully address your question but hey...its free advice. ;)
 
Fred, That's who I had rebuild my carb. Looks and runs like new. Our farm was about 6 miles away from Treadwell Carburetor and Jim was only a few years ahead of me in school.

What is wrong with the carb? Most of the time its just some small particles in the needle valve or in the jet holes in the bottom of the carb.Basic kit will run around $30 off ebay for most
carbs.You can do it yourself its easy really.The biggest thing is doing something once you have it cleaned up to keep the stuff out of the carb,I always put an inline filter just before the
carb to filter things out.I know lots will say the sediment bulb screen will do the job but it won't.I just changed a filter this morning that was full of small rust particles that went thru a sediment bulb, if not for the filter they would have been in the carb.
 
If you decide to install a kit, boil the carb in a pan of water. Gets a lot of the little crud out. Sounds like robbery if it costs $250 to rebuild, when kits a a small fraction of that, and you can buy new for $350 or so.
 
Sweet feet, I would use the place that Fred Goodrich recommended. Fred has more experience with tractors than almost anyone else who posts on this site.
 
why send it out? its not an injection pump.buy a gallon of carb cleaner and a basket and disassemble it and soak it in the gunk. that is the most important thing in a carb o/h. if its not requiring throttle shaft bushings. u can do it all yourself. that little carb has nothing in it. get a 4V holley of a 427 chevy and you have a few more parts.
 
You might ask your question on the N-forum below. A guy from Montana, name Gary, at one time was rebuilding them for other guys on that forum. He's currently sweating out a forest fire.

Also, there is a current post on the N-forum for a $58 carb from Amazon that is getting favorable comments. I know, I know. Just if you have to have a carb.
 
What model Schebler? Or, at least, what tractor?
I rebuild them, but I test and adjust every one before sending them back
to the owner, so I only do the ones that I have a tractor to test them on.
With enough demand, I may have a reason to buy another tractor! :)
 
Royse,
It's from a B-John Deere... uhm 35 or 36 (escapes me right now).
It's a DLT X 10... I think. LOL

Learned quite a bit about our Regular when we did that project together... but the B? Not so much.
 
I think he is looking for business that can replace a part... possibly needs to be pressed out? I'm not sure.

Guess I'm getting old and tired - can't remember what he tells me after work. :)
 
I helped my nephew do [b:b3bbcdd1b0]this one[/b:b3bbcdd1b0] for his JD B in June.
I don't own a B to test them on, so went by ear.
 

For those who say "anyone can do it", believe me, there are quite a few who can't. I've encountered several carburetors that could NOT be rebuilt, simply because a previous "anyone" did serious physical damage because they thought carb rebuilding was simple, and anyone can do it.
 
"Fun that you have a nephew who also enjoys old tractors."

I couldn't agree more Sweetfeet!
Here his is on a "political campaign" with my old F20.

I think most of the cost of that $250.00 rebuild outside of part is in knowledge and experience, maybe 10%, and the rest goes to the overhead of keeping the doors open!

Also includes the cost of carburetor cleaner, the cost of maintaining an air compressor, the investment in the proper tools, etc., etc.
