Psychological Risk is doing something that is incompatible with your self view.

Fix your own car? Always? Or never? Which are you?

How about rebuilding a carburetor? We offer advice to help you do it yourself. Or you can hire us to do it for you. It's up to you.

Satisfaction guaranteed. Honest.

A carburetor is a simple machine. It mixes fuel with air in the correct proportions so that the fuel ignites when it meets a spark. All this has to happen at precisely the right time.

Simple.

Got this cheap because "it's broken". Not broken now. Merry Christmas!

I love fixing things. Got a broken Quadrajet carburetor? Gimme a call.

Buyer resistance topic 2 is Performance. Will the carburetor work well enough to justify the cost and time? Will we do a good job?

This is why we offer our Satisfaction Guarantee. Not satisfied? We refund the service fees. You only pay for parts, which you keep. No fuss. Honest. #quadrajet

The secondary air flaps on the Quadrajet carburetor are spring loaded, and not directly connected to the linkage. They open by air pressure created when the secondary butterfly valves open.

The secondary jets are connected to the airflaps, not the butterfly. Very elegant mechanism.

If you don't know what all these little bits and pieces are, please...let us rebuild your Quadrajet. Satisfaction guaranteed. Honest.
