Re: Who's gonna fill their shoes?
Yeah, I guess you guys are right. We have a successful mobile mechanic here who works out of his truck. Stays real busy, about 45 years old. He brought me a carb from a 46 ford farm truck the heirs wanted to get running. He had 11 years in a certified Audi dealership as a tech and wanted ME to rebuild the carb. This is the guy (me) that has been known to chuck a float needle into an electric drill and hold it about 45 degrees and introduce it to my portable belt sander held upside down in a vice. Heck the needle was 3 sided, so perfect.
