Hello guys who do you recommend sending your carbs to get sonic cleaned and setup?

Thanks

Jim at VMS Motorsports does this.  He disassembles, ultrasonically cleans, and installs Redline kits.  He did this to previous set of my carbs and they worked real well.  He is presently doing another set for me.
He normally does this for $160 for the Redline kit + $100 labor along with shipping of course.  Normal turn around is about 1-2 weeks, depending on time of year.  Give him a call or check out his website, vms.motorsports. com.

Good luck!  :)

Are these carbs the ones you have been racing with or are these new or new to you?

To pull them apart, dunk tank, ultrasonic clean, and replace any questionable/failed items is $100.00.
Running about a week turn around right now due to heavy volume.

Add $65 if you want all the O-rings replaced and all of the screws upgraded with Stainless Steel.
Add $160.00 for a Red Line Jet kit installed

Yes they should be ultrasonic cleaned. There are many people who build carbs and sell jet kits. Ask educated questions of your builder and he should be asking you specific questions as well to get your carbs dialed in.

I build carbs for people all over the world and have the most comprehensive inventory of Mikuni in the world as well.

If you are interested shoot me an email or give me a call.

Chris just recently bought his car and is new to Legends Racing.
I believe he is in the process of getting the car ready for next season.
He lives in Canada, and is planning some racing here in Montana at Montana Raceway Park.

Randy is very good.
If there's something we're not sure of when it comes to engine and carb abnormalities, he's the first one we call.
He's also alot closer to you, so shipping/turnaround time would be shorter

Most likely your carbs simply need disassembled, cleaned, float heights checked, verify the jetting configuration, made changes if needed and synched.  The carbs then would be tested. Synching the carbs is best done on your car.
