Daytona did an excellent job rebuilding my Stromberg AAV-26 1940 160 carburetor, but only after it was returned because the float level was not set. The pain and suffering that resulted is documented beginning at post #714

We had waited a few months for the rebuild. We installed it and started having problems. We went on an Easter egg hunt because they have an excellent reputation for doing a thorough job, so we Assumed Daytona had done a perfect job, so we replaced other aspects of the fuel system without being able to correct the issue (shown in a video at post #737), until we removed the Stromberg and put the old, beat-up Carter back on, after which the problem stopped. Everyone makes mistakes, so never assume.
We shipped the Stromberg back to Daytona who inspected it and apologized for not setting the float level correctly and the carburetor has performed beautifully ever since.
This issue is in the past, but I guess you can tell it still exists in the room I keep of unpleasant experiences. Just kindly remind them to set the float level.
