Did some work on my '89 PC several years ago, found a cracked (and leaking) isolator. That was when I had had the bike for just a short time. It was my first and only, "big" job. Had some good advice from the group here but it still was a a b.... I couldn't believe how difficult is was to get enough pull on the carb assys Wound up standing on the bike, with a strap over my shoulders and heaving back and forth, while trying to stand up straighter. I took the carbs apart for cleaning (one at a time) and it wasn't difficult, just be patient and take your time
