United Carburetor

Peter Wong is a superb individual, and adept with carburetors, having cumulative like. 35yrs experience with em. He wanted to make sure that he had adequate time for processing, so he recommended not dropping it off on Friday just in case it took longer than expected, as is often the case. So technically I was scheduled for Thursday processing, but I dropped it off mid-Wed, and had it back by Friday afternoon, so totally expected time for a one man repair shop. Does not make appointments, and probably for good reason - this is as much art as science. I recommend calling ahead, a LOT, to make sure that times and dates are a-okay with both parties, and he was willing to work with me the whole time. His test drive went fine, the cold start and fast idle issues were totally gone, and she drove like butter. HOWEVER - a followup issue within the following several hours, a hesitation and rpm drop upon accelerating that has lead to frequent stalling from stop. I utilized his text number to warn him I'd be coming by again on Monday, so I'll report back how the followup goes! But if it's of any value, I know we will find a solution - Peter Wong was incredibly nice and very confident in his abilities.

EDIT: Got me in the shop quick and easy after the weekend, no issues with communication! Suspected accelerator pump, he adjusted it but was worried any additional adjustment would potentially fail smog. Problem mostly gone, but I think/read that accelerator pumps can be sized for different flows, and I doubt Mr Wong will spring for hours more labor on a trial-error part. I may have to discuss additional labor charges to do some testing if it fails smog. Regardless, superb work by Mr Wong.

Love this place they are nice, kind and respectful. I get my car smogged here every year. I even go by myself.
