looking for a motorcycle mechanic ASAP.

damnit.. my bike's still not fixed. i'll pay $40/hr + free food in Chinatown.

this is just to install a pair of carbs. you don't even need to know how to work on bikes as 1) i have the service manual 2) i have the a DIY manual printed as well.

someone hit me up, i gotta get these into the bike (and START the bike, by 9/1/06)

TIA!

What is hard about installing the carbs?

Do you need them tuned as well?

When I swapped the carb on my bike(scooter), I had never done it before and I had it working within a few minutes. Just connect the lines and go.

If you need the carb tuned, then that is a whole seperate story.

my bike is acting up too! It's a 73 Honda cl350. I'm thinking the carbs are clogged. It really looks easy to take off/put on but I'm too lazy. lol

you should give it a try
