Coln Engineering Provides Carburettor Restoration Services in Gloucester

Carburettor Restoration Process

Coln Engineering Ltd offers a wide range of carburettor renovation services for all makes and sizes, as well as all levels of service. Pretty much anything can be restored, depending on how much time and effort is put into it.

We understand the financial implications of that statement, therefore we will discuss your plans and provide you with first-class carburettor restoration services.

Step 1 - Assess and discuss

​The first step is to determine what it is, what the possible faults are if any, what replacement parts are available and how much they cost. We then call you and provide you with a quote based on our recommendations and your requirements.

Step 2 - Strip down and photograph
The next step is to strip down the carb to its component parts and, as standard, gently clean the individual components in our ultrasonic cleaner. All the channels are then cleared to ensure correct operation.
Step 3 - Vapour blast

​The first step is to determine what it is, what the possible faults are if any, what replacement parts are available and how much they cost. We then call you and provide you with a quote based on our recommendations and your requirements.

Step 4 - Plate linkages
​Plated aluminium or steel external components with a variety of finishes is an optional service that we will discuss with yo
Step 5 - Re-assembly
All the components are then reassembled with a new set of gaskets, diaphragms, jets, floats and valves plus repaired parts. We will let you know if the butterfly bushes are worn and require replacing.
Step 6 - Final set-up
During assembly, we set the float levels, set the idle mixture, and idle speed, and then test for leaks and problems, so that when you first fit the carburettor to your bike or car it will start the first time.
