Hi all- can anyone recommend a carby specialist in the Nelson/Motueka region?
Ive got an old MK1 cortina which a couple issues Id like sorted out and my experience with carbs are guys that know what they're doing and guys that think they do :) Want some one with some form of lambda sensor do confirm jet sizes etc, get the choke operational and look into my fuel bowl draining.
Cheers

May sound silly.

But what about a lawn mower mechanic? They still have to deal with a lot of that stuff.

Yea thanks, its not quite ready to see anybody yet (got a clutch job first) but a quick search of google found the hira guy. I will investigate further- Im sure there are experienced fellers out there, hoped someone may know a guy by experience. Thanks guys

Happy to learn, but really want some tuning equipment to confirm rather then by feel or sound

Not sure if he's still there, but Don at Nicolls Auto in Richmond is good with old school carbs etc. Likes Ford too.

There used to be a guy in Motueka who was known to be good with carbs. I had him look at mine once. That was the 1990's, I have no idea if he's still there.
