What is a Reputable Company I can Send My Comp Qjet to to be rebuilt, Or Should I attempt it At home? I dont really Feel Like Doing it, but I am perfectly Capable of it.
If I were to Do it, what would I need ?

There doesn't seem to be a place that you can send your carb and expect it to work right when it gets back, if you believe all the comments that have been made on these boards.
To rebuild it yourself, you need: A good book on q-jets to study before you start; a rebuild kit; a can of real dip-type carb cleaner (not the spray stuff or general parts cleaner); an air compressor to blow out passages and clean place to work to ensure everything is clean before you start putting it back together; a set of adjusting tools (where to get them has been discussed on this board many times); a high-resistance multimeter (such as a small digital model from Radio Shack); a healthy dose of patience.
Follow the instructions in the kit. The book will give you a better understanding of the priciples of operation.
