as much as I a don't like bedmouth anybody, i had mine redone by AJ.
it took forever to get em back. They were done, and just needed to be
shipped. Set like that in their shop for a few weeks. When I got em a
few things were wrong. One mixture screw was missing. Luckily i was
able to find a set I could borrow from a friend so that i didn't have
to back track to getting single carb back on and etc etc. Yes I did
discover this after I've installed them. After that little problem
was squared I just couldn't get them adjusted at all. one side was not
responsive to mixture changes. couldn't figure it out for some time.
Pulled idle jet and guess what, it was crushed when it was reamed!
yeah no big deal BUT it took forever to get those parts replaced. No
problems, but that's a lot of waste of time.

Just my personal experience, but unfortunately not that unique from
what I've been hearing lately.

Baby dells are good, some folks really like ICTs. If you can get
original webers 40 IDFs go for it just have them redone by Mark
Harney.
