You guys may find it hard to believe but a kid going to school today to be a mechanic for cars and lite trucks will not learn ANYTHING about a craburator and get very little about repairing an alternator or starter. Reason being is cost and come backs. Some carbs have as much as 8 hours according to the flat rate. So take the cost of a kit, so 50 bucks and add that too 8Xshop rate. They get 1 hour to R&I a reman that sells for 250. There is more to a carb than just putting a kit in it. You should check and repair as needed the shafts which require new bushings and those bushing reamed to fit and so on. Most shops don't even have the equipment anymore. Same thing with alternators and starters. Do repair (rebuild) the entire thing, repacing rectifiers and bearing/bushings plus run in is just too many hours. Plus that process has to be repaeted if the mechanic is having a bad day and it fails. With a reman they pull it and repace it if they get a bad one.
