What is a average cost of rebuilding stock weber carbs for a six cyl?

The prices seem to range from to 250.00 ea. to the moon.


Thanks

As previously indicated, cost depend on level of rebuild. . which to me
mean complete disassemble, remove all the galley plugs to insure passages
are clear of obstructions / corrosion. Throttle shafts in 40 year old Webbers
may often need bushings which is $$$ more. . parts can be estimated but labor and machine work wont be known until you get them apart. and how good they are to start with. . It would not be out of the ordinary for them to cost close to $2000 for a professional level rebuild.


Just swapping gaskets and jets is another matter. . cheaper of course, but may not fix the root case of 40 year old carburetor issues.

And when I do them, I hot run them on a test motor. . That way I know there are no issues, and have the balance and jetting close to start with. . Makes life much simpler once they are back on their motor. . Wonder what a 'Pro Shop' would charge for this. .
