Welcome to the site; to be honest, you are best served to do it yourself. Go here and read up on the information to be found - http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

Just what do you consider to be a "total rebuild"?Originally posted by Snarlzbad View Post
What we consider to be a "total rebuild" (and has worked quite well), is what Chuck has probably offered in his PM to you.
Total "strip and dip" of all the carbs bodies, float bowls and non-rubber parts.
Mechanical cleaning (wire poking) of holes in jets.
Replacement of ALL o-rings in carbs and fuel transfer tubes.
Inspection, evaluation and possible replacement of bowl gaskets.
Bench sync.
Pre-set mixture.
Please let us know what you think of the work that was done, if and when you get your carbs back.
Just for the record, Chuck, Chef and I will all have had your carbs back to you within two weeks.

Bill...He would be better off having you, me, Ray, Steve or the many others that do them right to do them.
But then again, I was gonna fully tear them down as i said in my PM..but I guess he didnt understand that fully. By rebuild, we all mean a full tear down and fully rebuilt from the bottom up.
And to the original poster, May we inquire as to if this guy in Texas is Wired George?? If it is, sad to tell you this, but youre gonne be without the crabs for 3 to 4 months...or maybe a lot longer. And when you DO FINALLY get them back, youll be having one of us redoing them anyways. For the love of God..PLEASE PLEASE tell us its not George!!!!Last edited by chuck hahn; 01-31-2014, 08:01 PM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Where are you in "upstate NY"?Originally posted by open1mind View Post
For the last few years, I spent quite a bit of time there, doing some contract work.
Unfortunately for you, I now have a job that keeps me home, otherwise you could have been one of my "weekend projects".
Most of my time there was either in Glens Falls or Saranac Lake, as well as a few places in Vermont, but I ranged as far as Syracuse and Boston
on a project.
Probably need to re-word that, if you don't mind.Originally posted by steve murdoch View Post
Yes, they are GOOD.
"Killer"? They haven't killed me yet.
