Either carb is a good carb. Both field tested by the millions. If you are saying that a $40 bucket of cleaner and a kit is the same price as a local builder would charge, have it rebuilt. You won't buy a rebuilt carb for that. The consensus on Carter vs Rochester is the same as any other issue. Now throw in Holley. Some would say that the carb that came on the motor from the factory is the best carb.
If you don't have a lot of knowledge or experience and you start playing "hot rod guy" or wanting to change because someone says to change, that's when you and your motor get all goofed up.
You must have experience and knowledge because you have decided that the carb "needs rebuilt" without asking any questions or explaining why and let the members advise/suggest what's wrong with whatever the issue is. Could be fuel, electrical, timing, vacuum or mechanical.......and you didn't give year, make, model, mods.
