I need help

[Geno Forte]

Hello,
I'm brand new to this site. I have a 1983 GS1100GK and need help finding a place that can clean and do a total rebuild to spec on my carbs. I live near Louisville KY and if the place is too far to take the bike then I can ship the carbs.

I have taken it to two different places and both have made my problem much worst at geat expense. I need to find someone who an expert on my GS. Someone who knows my bike inside out.

Thanks to anyone that can direct me in the right direction,

Geno

Look in the mirror. No one else gives a damn enough to do it right.

Yes, do it yourself. Check my signature for the carb rebuild tutorial. Read though it and let me know if you have any questions.

You have an old bike that will need continuous maintenance. You may as well step up and start learning otherwise you are going to go broke paying a mechanic or tear up the poor bike though neglect by doing nothing.

Less than $50 for parts and supplies to fully refurbish the carbs, then just over $100 for the sync gauge, and you will be set.

There's a forum member who rebuilds carbs, but I don't recall his name. Anyone remember?

Doesn't it start with a C and sounds like a cook?


Chef1366 does the work around here if you don't want to do it yourself. But honestly, it's not that hard, will cost you less, and you'll know the work is done right by doing it yourself.
