    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Trust me that shop has little interest in your carbs- that price was to scare you off (or make two RV payments).
If you fear carb work, check out the services forum, cuz there's a bunch of guys who do carbs to avoid boredom.
 
The 450 carbs are really simple -- and there's only two of them. The whole O-ring kit is around seven dollars shipped. The price on the 'combo' -- includes intake O-rings and stainless fasteners -- is $13.70 or something like that, plus Paypal. (I suppose I could check my own website...).

You might need bowl gaskets. You will need some solvent dip.

Probably less than $45 all told, plus your time, and you're done, with you ensuring the QC instead of god-knows-who.
