    How to clean my carbs (Im new)

    Hey, my 1982 GS650L is turning over but not firing up. Believe it needs the carbs cleaned. Wondering if any of you guys could point me in the right direction of what all to buy and where to get instructions on how to clean them (if there is a best video or article out there)

    Thanks!

      Some of the forum members offer carb cleaning services. Not to say you can't do it yourself but if time is money, and it is, their prices are all pretty decent

        Wondering if there is anyone in the Oxford, OH (Cincy) area that can clean the carbs. I can do them myself but if somebody can do it better I would be interested.

          Not sure there's anyone in town but several here will doing via mail. Members Chef1366 and Steve can do them. I'm setup to do them as well. Personally I'd recommend learning how to do it yourself for the future. Here's the link again: Carb Rebuild Tutorial

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

            I'm not that far from you. You want to drop them by or have me pick them up?

            I have not ridden out there for a while, it would be a nice ride.
