          I've got a can of Kleen-Flow 650 here to dip those carbs in if you'd like like.Get a set of O rings from Mr. Barr and a set of SS allens for the carbs(if you want to go that way)and we can have a "carb party".Have a good impact driver to,just in case we get a stubborn screw.

            I will be watching, looks we are at the same stage, just pulled the front master off mine, caliper rebuild next, then on to the carbs...

            Can I join the group? I paid $150, but mine's a GS750T

                Pick up the pace lad. We're waiting (foot tapping)

                Some of the guys make it look so easy the way they whip through things they're creating a sense of instant gratification for all us voyeurs. we want more and we want it nowwwwwwwww!

                Seriously nice score and I'm glad to hear you're going stock and not taking the buzz saw to her.

                This will be interesting for me at least.

                Good luck and do take your time, I've got a few years left.......I hope

                Cheers,

                      Yeah it is Greg, thanks for the advice. I don't need to get in anymore trouble around the house. I do well enough in that dept on my own.

                        Well a little more work done today. Got the air box out. Then got the carbs and boots out. As you guys know I am a total rookie at this stuff, not really mechanically inclined. So this was weirdly satisfying for me. Thanks for the tips. So in the next couple of days I will take them apart and dip them in my Kleen-Flo carb cleaner. I am trying to be as organised as possiable, keeping work area clean, putting tools away and having containers labeled with parts and from where. So lets see if I can pull this restoration off. Please continue with your tips and encouragement. Thanks again guys.

                            Best way to post pics here or aother sites is to use a hosting site.I use Photobuckcet but there are others.From BassCliff site http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=184524 Some of the info is old as Frank has upped the pic count to 10.This works over at BCCMC to.Cuts down server space needed.
