Default 1981 E4ME rebuild

I will start by saying I DO NOT want to rebuild my carb myself. Is there anyone here on the forum that will clean and rebuild? TIA

Send an e-mail to Lars Grimsrud V8FastCars@msn.com and ask him if he will rebuild it. He's the best and, if he rebuilds it, it will be right.

Thanks 7T1, I will send him an email but I thought he was not rebuilding the E4ME anymore.

I don't know what carbs he will work on; just thought you should try.

I don’t think Lars does these but he’ll know who to try.

Sorry, but I don't do the ECM-controlled carbs. I have no way to run them and test them on my test engine, and I don't believe there is any way to properly rebuild a carb without a complete functional test on a running engine.

So what if I/we/someone, made up a way to test them on your mule?

Don’t know if they the carbs for your year car but Daytona Parts in Florida are just wonderful. They are honest as the day is long and know the carbs on my ‘58 like few others.
