NEED SOME ADVISE: PLEASE READ MY OTHER POST BELOW AS WELL.

I finally got to take the 912 out yesterday for a long drive in nice weather and I feel that the engine is weak....I know they are not the most powerful engines to start with but something is missing.

My garage did a compression test and confirmed that it is "tired".

I am thinking of having my garage rebuild the weber carbs and then replace all the gaskets and seals in the engine.

At a labor rate of $85/hour and an gasket set from Pelican, what total cost am I looking at and what can I expect in terms on a gain in perfomance/feel after this is done...

I am basically bringing this car back from the dead...it was parked in the 80's...engine started to run again in the 90's but never got on the road and now I have it...I already replaced all the floor pans that were rusted, new tires, replaced all the transmission parts, worked on the interior, changed all the fluids and I will eventually get a paint job but I do not want a good looking car that drives like crap.

Opinions and thoughts are appreciated.
