Recommendation - Rhys Kent from Island Automotion for carbs!

I just received my rebuilt Zenith Stomberg 175 CD from Rhys this morning. NICE work! Looks like it came out of the factory. Replaced all wear items, external and internal, provided new gaskets, a comprehensive installation and tuning guide, and the whizzy tool to adjust idle mixture ($25 CDN).

I am installing the "new" carb today and will repost to let you know how it all went and the results of the rebuild. I suspect my economy will rise and my hot starting issues will disappear.

Rhys sent me the carb exactly when he said he would with exactly the work and materials we discussed. I offer my whole hearted endorsement of Island Automotion and Rhys.

Here is his web site:

Rhys seems to be a good guy. Nonetheless, no matter what he does, it is
still a Zenith-Stromberg. No matter what anyone does, that's what it is.
