Great story.

As it should be. Florida at it’s best.
Most kids their age, in fact many of their parents, would ask, “What’s a carburetor?”
Good on these kids!
I keep telling you all that THIS will be the standard ‘Business Model’ for anyone wanting to still make or do or provide a service for others, once the Socialists are done destroying America.
We Proletariat WILL be the Butcher, Baker and Candlestick makers for the Bourgeois.
Plan accordingly, FRiends.
Cool story!
Awesome. As a hobby to business guy I always try to support young entrepreneurs. I am posting this to all of my car clubs & sites.
Thanks for posting this.
This is what America’s about.
OPPORTUNITY! WORK HARD AND YOU SUCCEED!
Now on to a bad note: How long before the government closes them down?
Happy to read this local success story! Youth entrepreneurs should be encouraged like this and while carbs may be losing out to EFI setups, the knowledge and skills these women are learning will last them a lifetime! And just think of the 1st date any one of them may have when SHE talks about that nice Holley Carb she rebuilt!
When I was their age (it was the NEOlithic, not Paleolithic), many schools had Junior Achievement organizations to encourage just such efforts with hands-on training and mentoring on running a business. Can’t help but wonder how many such programs still run in our WOKE academia.
What a wonderful story. This young entrepreneur would make any parents proud!
Awesome story...may have to send one of my Rochester Quad 4M4C there!!there
Cool!

Absolutely cool. I’ve always considered carburetors a source of black magic...never to be touched by MY hands without incurring the wrath of evil spirits hiding in the carbs. That’s definitely a “someone else” job as far as I’m concerned.
I found a guy to rebuild my two ‘79 Yamaha XS650 Special carbs. Came back looking brand new...and turned the bike into a very solid runner.
Much success to these kids.
Hat tip to the young ladies who know more than most their age.
Best of luck
I just had my fuel injectors replaced yesterday on my 99 Suburban, and it’s running really rough now.
The guy said that my plugs need to be replaced for it to smooth out. That new plugs will burn hotter and get all of the gunk out.
I miss carburetors.
California, Washington and Massachusetts have all ordained the end of gasoline engines. New York next. That means all the old cars will be run until eternity.
Fortunately, the old cars can be repaired indefinitely. That’s why I have a 57 Bel Air, a 67 Camaro and a 48 Chevy pickup. I can see the handwriting on the wall.
Rebuilding carbs is no big deal except that you better get those tiny tiny circuits inside clean.
Wonderful story!
