does anybody know of anyone, preferably a shop, who works on these? and i ain't talking about your jackass friend who put an intake on his accord and now thinks he is a honda mechanic who can work on anything.

one broke?

wow....

3/5/2006 4:02:06 PM

no, not broke. it sat for 3 years without being ran. i blew the jets out on the carbs and it made it where it will hold an idle but they still aren't right. at wot, it runs great. it's just the idle jets are so fucking clogged. they really need to be rebuilt. i don't have the time or patience to fuck with 3 carbs so i'm gonna farm it out.

ohh cool... i was under the impression those things were damned near indestructible

still am.

They are damn near indestructible. How many horses is it, Brian?

The last one I worked on was a 7.5 for pwrstrkdf250. But that's a twin with only one carb. Simple float carb, standard butterfly throttle.

I haven't done more than two carbs at once.

its a 30hp and i know it's a bitch to get the carbs off. is this something you think you might be interested it?

oh, and jefferies and sons say they won't touch a honda. i can understand why. i won't either.
