You go, girl(s)

LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. - The garage of a Lakewood Ranch home has become an auto shop for a group of teenage girls. 

"All females working," explained Riley Trask. "It involves me and five other girls who are 17." 

She heads the business based out of her family's home. It's called Riley's Rebuilds.

  6. Good on her and her friends. Carburetor rebuilding is a lost art, not to mention they can be a royal pain to tune. Continued success to them.

    2. In 1974 I rebuilt the Rochester 2-jet on my '56 Chevy panel truck. Piece of cake!
      It ran great, in spite of a couple of small bits left over...

      On a later project I found the solution for Carted AFB starvation on side hills and whoop-de-doos- Installing spring loaded needle/seats a vast improvement.
      (Also safer when turning left before oncoming traffic.)

      Q-Jets rule! Set 'em and forget 'em.
