[AJD] Carb cleaning

[Bill Brueck]

I think the hands down choice from this list will be Roberts Carburetor
Repair.  I was going to direct you to their website but it doesn't seem to
be up.  Does anybody have a more current address?
http://www.robertscarbrepair.com  I think he's out of Spencer, Iowa, or
close to there.

I spoke with Robert just this spring at the LeSueur meet.  He may be
backlogged a bit on work, he's pretty popular.  He did a dltx-19 for an AR
for me a while back, it was a piece of art: all painted up and THEN he
polished up all the brass plugs and put them in.

There are others rebuilders to use and some to avoid, the wisdom of the list
will help identify them.
