Default Simmons/Wizard Carburetor

Hi,
Does anyone specialize in restoring Wizard side-bowl carburetors?
Thanks.

I would contact Renner's, they overhaul other carbs not just Zenith. Google Renners Conrner!

Do you have a picture of the carburetor you could post.

Thanks

I restored this one but it was a chore. Joop here on the barn was a big help.

I have yet to take any pictures of it. It is complete other than the choke driver. The tag is nice. It has the two bolts broken off in the top flange and these stubs are rusted in solid. It is currently soaking to make these easier to remove. The carb has been off a vehicle so long there were spider webs in the venturi. I think I would like to run it on my town sedan, so would like to have it professionally fixed with new plating, etc. But since this is a Simmons/Wizard I would prefer someone who has done these before do this one. Thanks.

How does this carburetor compare to the Zenith?
