Stromberg carb expert??

Post by 5806 »

Seems a few years back there was someone here that rebuilt Strom carbs. Does that resource still exist?
Thanks.

D&G Supply has a guy who does stromberg rebuilds. He posts on Facebook groups regularly. https://dgsupply.com/

I had mine overhauled at Central Cylinder in Omaha. I also have overhauled one myself.

Stromberg Specialist in Illinois passed away from what I hear. I'm pretty sure between the Neal Wright articles and his website I have saved all his articles on my hard drive...

Tony’s correct John, D&G up in your neck of the woods in Niles, MI does overhauls on Stromberg units.

I tried several times to get in touch with Bob Kachergius at Uni-Tech Air Management Systems, and got no answer. I think Bob did pass away.

Thank you my friends! I am helping a long time friend with a Strom from his homebuilt Cub. It has the drips... ;)

John,

I received a call last week from Bob Kachergius's son who advised me that Bob, "The Stromberg Specialist", passed away on 2/23/2024.
