Need a good mechanic
Reaching out to you South Louisiana riders for help.
My bike has (for many unfortunate reasons) sat up for quite some time. It's running again but it's sputting quite a bit. I installed Ivan's carb kit years ago so the carbs aren't stock and I need to find someone to give them a good once over but I don't know anyone. Can you guys please give me the name of someone you trust. Thanks, |

Re: Need a good mechanic
 If the Seafoam doesn't fix it you'll need to do this: http://www.zrxoa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=163000 If you installed your own Ivan's jet kit, you can easliy follow these instructions and clean them yourself rather than paying someone a couple hundred bucks to do it for you. TG

Re: Need a good mechanic
If the SeaFoam doesn't work & if you cannot work on your own carbs, but can remove them, you can ship them to me for disassembly, cleaning and reassembly.
www.ExpensiveLightweightStuff.com Or, someone local on the board should be able to help you.

Re: Need a good mechanic
yeah, what they said. Seafoam is your friend. Fill up seafoam it, and ride the snot out of it for a tank at least. Then report back. I've put Ivan's in mine as well, but it IS a slight pain to pull and remove them if you still have the airbox as I do. No biggie tho'.
