I get $55 per carb plus parts and shop supplies..A 3 cylinder 40 would be $165 labor,43.25 parts,$25 shop supplies plus 9.25% tax. A lot of customers ask me what shop supplies are and its: wire ties, spray carb cleaner,fuel hose,carb dip,shop towels(paper) cleaning products. When I repair carbs they are dipped in caustic cleaner,washed,dried and resprayed with spray carb cleaner. All passages cleaned,new needles,gaskets, fuel line hoses replaced,inline filter,wire ties and tested/adjusted in tank. Then motor/transom is wiped down to remove any hand prints /fuel/oil or dirt.
