Idiots...

Stroker and Badsport - I see your point and it makes perfect sense. To me though, it seems like it would be a logical thing, the car runs bad, lets check the entire fuel system to check for leaks... NOO! They ASSUME the carb is to blame, and yank it for a rebuild. Any GOOD shop would double check to make sure the system is in good shape. The owners of the previous car were not car people so it stands for reason they left it at this shop and said, "it runs bad, can you fix it?" Viola!... the situation comes to a head with me.
