In Europe overhauling engine parts is extremly expensive. For example a carburator check will cost up to 2000 US-dollar...

Today Im going to do my anual 100 h service and its 10 year since the Marvel-carburator got a real check, and even the Bendix magnetos needs overhaul, after four year of good service in my Stinson 108-1.

Now, the Q:

Were in the States do I find a unexpensive, but realible shop?

I sure like Lycon but they are slow....

Do you want inexpensive or the best quality for the best value? I'm assuming you want quality and since you only have one carburator - don't let a mediocre overall try to kill you - I've been there from several suposidaly reputable overhaulers (not talking about lycon here).

This is the only one I use for good reason:
