Carburetors are the heart of many classic motorcycles. After years of use, disuse, or improper adjustment, they can cause starting problems, irregular running, high fuel consumption, or loss of power. At The Oldtimer Factory , we perform carburetor rebuilds with meticulous attention to detail, original specifications, and accurate adjustments, ensuring your classic car runs as intended.

What is a carburetor overhaul?

A carburetor overhaul is more than just cleaning. It's a complete and controlled repair process in which the carburetor is disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt.

This includes, among other things:

  • Complete disassembly
  • Thorough cleaning of all channels and components
  • Check for wear and deformation
  • Replacement of seals, diaphragms, float needles and gaskets
  • Correct reconstruction according to original specifications

The goal is a carburetor that once again functions reliably, accurately and predictably .

Specialized work for classic cars

Carburetors in classic cars operate with mechanical precision and tight tolerances . Each type and brand has its own character and tuning requirements. At The Oldtimer Factory, we consider:

  • Type of carburetor (SU, Weber, Zenith, Solex, ...)
  • Engine configuration
  • Use of the car (touring, driving style, touring)
  • Originality and authenticity

We avoid universal solutions and tailor everything to the specific engine and application.
