    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Will do. I like Z1. Jeff and Steve have both been a tremendous help over the past few weeks.

      A pic down the pilot hole of carb 1. The first edge you see is the start of the threads. The next edge (in focus) seems to be the end of the threads. No spring??

        And if you shine a light at the hole in the throat of the carb you should see light there..indicating no broke off tips. And if a tip is broke off you will see the tiny spec of brass in the very bottom too.

          Yep, no spring, which means the PO really screwed up.

          Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)
