    Hi Everyone,

    I live in Los Angeles california. I'm looking for a good mechanic, someone that knows how to work on the older cars. I'm still having trouble with my carburetor. If anyone knows a mechanic they can recommend that would be great. I have no problem paying good money for one, it's just that I haven't had good luck with the ones that I have near me.

    I messed around with the carb as much as I possibly could. I adjusted it and even got 2 new ones and it still didn't run right. Did all the vaccum lines again and still nothing. Now it diesels after I run it for more than 20min and it doesn't run as smooth. Just need someone to go over everything i did and find the gremlins!
