I just rebuilt my first carb today and found out how easy it is. I see carburators for sale all the time for $20 that just need a rebuild, it's usually another 20 in parts and these carbs go from anywhere from 150-300. Why doesn't everyone do this for spare cash? Is there any downside? I don't plan on making a living doing this but maybe you can make some extra cash for my project

The downside is making sure they run after you clean them. Also, you need a steady supply of carburetors and people who are willing to buy them.

I planned on selling the better aftermarket carbs locally and the pens on eBay or by the order. I don't know how I would test a repaired carb.

I mean OEM not pens

rebuild a Toyota Aisin carburetor then we'll talk. every carburetor i had on my old 81 Hilux was so fucking finicky that i ended up selling the truck

long story short most vehicles its easier to get a aftermarket Weber or whatever carburetor. long term theres no business in it. i was a mechanic for 6 years and we worked on alot of old junk. i think in those 6 years we rebuilt 1 squarebody chevy carb and tuned maybe 2-3 car carbs. otherwise theres no money to be had

the only sidejobs i made mad bank from was insurance inspections, being a Journeyman i could legally do them on the side. most people charged $110 for them, i went to peoples houses and charged $50. banked $500 extra a month for 2-3 hours of work. years later after i left the trade people still call me for inspections. thats the only real money to be had
