So how bad did I mess it up?

[Chuckster]

When I was removing my carbs, I somehow did a little damage to the #2 carb. The #2 airbox boot clamp apparently got wedged in between the carb and the boot when I was struggling to get the carb rack off and gouged the top of the airbox side of the intake a bit. Rookie misstake, what can I say? Of course, you can't see what's going on with #2 and #3 when you are trying to get the #$%^ things off; so I didn't know until after the fact. I filed it down smooth the best I could. My question is: will this have any affect on how the bike will run?

Don't sweat it. It'll be fine. That is the port that draws the air that raises your slides hence needles.
You don't even want to know what I did to my first carb rebuilt. Had to replace a carb body cause I butchered the idle mixture screw and ended up cracking the body. :?

:shock: Thanks Chef, you make me feel better! :-D I'm going ahead as planned. I got to hold off until I can pick up the digital caliper at Harbor Freight Friday afternoon for the float measurement before I can put #1 back together and move on to #2. I am having fun though. \\/ Here's another shot of it.

If you click on this link, you will see that there is a price of $36.99 that is crossed out, then a big red $15.99 near it.
Don't know if that is a 'compare to' price or if it's on sale, but as of today, that is the price.
Might be 'normal', might be 'sale', but that is the price. 8-[

Just to clarify if anybody is thinking about shopping at Harbor Freight. I called just to see if it was in stock as I plan to stop today. He asked if I got that price off the internet and I said yes. He said the store price was $36.99 but if I brought in my printout off the internet, they would sell it to me at that price. So if you're going, print out whatever you want to get if you want the lower price.

It looks like your fuel line is original due to the colour. It would be a good time to put a new one on, Ted

Also......if they have a sale price on the internet that isn't in the store or on the flyer, they will honor that price as long as you print it out and take it in.\\/
