$75? Good luck on that. The stealerships around here are all at least $90/hr for labor, which translates to about 50 minutes of work. If you take them off and carry them into a 2nd tier shop, you might get away with $200-250. I have. The number I've heard when guys just take bikes in on trailers is usually around $400, which kind of gives rise to mailing lists like this.
There are some useful carb cleaning and carb synching videos on YouTube. You can start with watching this kid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exa467_eoXw . I was able to get my first $200 barn find running with the help of on-line sources, a little luck, and a lot of swearing. Be sure to take pictures of everything as you go. You'll want to refer back to them when you put things back together. Speaking of putting things back together, I've never broken a rack of carbs and luckily have never had to. I use Yamalube carb cleaner, which does not dissolve the rubber components. Be careful, though. You buy it in quarts, and if you try to store it for reuse in a gallon milk jug, it will eventually dissolve its way through that! Found that out through hard experience. Good luck and let us know how it goes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
