Carb Tune-up
Many classics run or start poorly and are not tuned correctly or the timing is not correct. Old carburetors can have worn components. Points ignition systems need adjusting as well as checking distributor curve function. Old dampeners can slip or be marked incorrectly for timing causing issues when setting up an older vehicle.
