Rebuilding Carburetors

Has anyone out there done business with The Carburetor Store? I found them on the web at www.thecarburetorstore.com I am wondering what their reputation is and even if they are legitimate.
 
The best place to rebuild a carburetor is the kitchen table. Most of the antique tractor carburetors are easier to do than fixing a leaky faucet. If you live near a Vo-Tech school any tractor or auto-mechanics teacher would be able to give you some advice if you get stuck. Rebuilding is a misnomer. Unless you have a broken casting, you clean all the passages with carburetor cleaner and compressed air, replace the needle and seat, check for a leaky float, and install a new gasket. Cost should be from $20 - $30.
 
One of the auto parts store in my area that still has a machine shop will dismantle. let it cook in the soup over nite, and install a new kit for $20.00
 
I disagree with Tom. His "rebuild" though is a misnomer.
Rebuild starts with complete disassembly, and a soak in carb cleaning pot. Then blown clean with acetone. Reassembled using new idle needle, new load needle, new packing, new butterflys, new discharge needle if old one has been boogered, upper lower halve decked and trued, needle and seat, float adjustment both up and down, new brass strainer, new brall drain plug,and last, install on a tractor and test. The correct complete kit for this plus other parts will run 70 dollars or so, 95 if you need a float.
