Advice on getting a mechanic to service carbs.
Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2019 3:53 pm
Hi all,
I've become overwhelmed on rebuilding the carburetor myself. When I got the bike, the carbs were completely gunked, floats seized, etc. I ended up getting a rebuild kit and was able to get the bike running (got 2.2miles on the trip odometer lol).
recently, the emulsion tube nut broke off and i had to go back in-fixed that, but now the bike wont start up.
Because it is riding season im thinking that I will just cut my losses and go to a mechanic. Should I ask for a clean/sync/tune? How much will that cost? should i put #20pilot jets in before I go to upgrade the bike and have the mechanic sort them out?
A friend thinks i can just buy an assembly thats already running, any advice there? anyone selling
?
maybe i could send someone the assembly on the forums here ( will pay of course..
