The only place you can get the kits is from Precsion Engines. They also have an overhaul service. The interesting thing is that the kits cost more than the overhaul. The problem is that I personally have very little faith in their work. We have had a number of carbs done by them that have needed to be set up properly. It is a time consuming process that few know how to do these days. I cant remember the the name of a carb shop that I spoke to in the states, I think Chris or Morris might know. Take a good look at your wallet as it will soon be empty.

It takes a very special (and antique) flow bench to properly set those guys up. I highly recomend "Mikes Aircraft Fuel Metering" in Tulsa OK. He's the pressure carb guru. Probably touched the carbs on just about every Commander around at one time or another.
