hey, thanks alot for sharing all your opinions guys. Well i'm not that filled in on the carb situ so dont know what exactly the prob is which is why i wanted a second opinion. Probably he'll have a different view on sorting out the problem. The plugs are fine, thats what i checked first when it started to miss. Just that the miss gradually reduces when i drive for long hours....

guys, i drive a Lancer CK2 YOM1996 which is a carburetor model. The car is in brimming condition except the fact that the Carburetor is in bad shape. I took it to carburetor banda twice, but he concluded that the piston was bent and i will have to replace the entire carb. He did a temp job but the car misses pretty badly on low gears till the engine heats up. I could taste what i had for dinner every morning when i drive to work cos of the jerks... Appreciate your advice on a coupla things; 1. Is there any other expert mechanic i can get a second opinion on? 2. Could i modify another carb and replace it or could i fix the existing one? 3. What do you think are the consequences on using the car like this for some time? 4. How much would a new carb/repair cost? Cheers, Piston..
