Who is everyone using to rebuild Carter AFB carbs these days. Woodruff hasn’t replied to my last two inquiries so I’m assuming they are booked out.

I've been using ME! One of the most user-friendly carbs in the world.
Rebuild or restore? Basic rebuild isn't difficult and not expensive. Restoration work with replating is a different story.
I've used Woodruff a couple of times but I called him. Told him what I wanted done and asked how long it would take. He had it done on time.

Always did my own. Get the number and find the correct rebuild kit.
Yep.. Buy a rebuild and do it yourself. I have more than once.. It's easy. Videos on You Tube showing how.
You can get a container of carb cleaner at auto parts store to de-gunk the carb body.

Have no fear as the afb is one of the easiest four barrel carbs there is to rebuild. Many can be brought back to running condition with simple internal and external cleaning of the few parts that are present. Rebuilding with a kit is simply replacing the old with a matching new piece in the kit. Get the correct kit and give it a whirl! You'll be proud of yourself when it's all done and running like new again.
