No start - Carbs??? Where to begin? 120-130 1967

Hello all,

The Brick: 67 122s Estate, B20, Twin SUs (HS6).

The Symptom: While trying to start, I get one 'pop' of ignition about every 3-4 seconds of starting, but no sustained ignition.

The history: new ignition components, in working order, static timed, and just got done cleaning and putting the fuel pump back on (though it still may be a source of the problem...but I know fuel is getting to the carb bowls). I limped this car home in october and it didn't really like to be driven then, which means it kept wanting to die when stopped, so I had to keep on the choke/gas pedal whenever I stopped.

The Question: Does any one know of a good (cheap) carb rebuilder that I can send this thing to? I don't feel quite qualified for carbs (my other four volvos were FI)...is it really hard to rebuild myself?

I'm in Eugene, Oregon, by the way.

Thanks guys (and gals if there are any on bboard).

Brian
