[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 137646, member: 59"] I'll tell ya, when I got them back I could tell they were worked on, but I thought they were going to be put through an ultrasonic cleaner. They came back looking just a bit cleaner than when they left. The parts were replaced and the idle screws had yellow paint markings that were not there before they left my house, but the floats were completely out of adjustment and the float needles leaked and would not seat until after I cleaned them twice. I sent emails back to the email address that was used for the shipping correspondence, but no reply. I'm not absolutely sure Pete was the one that did the job???? They worked better than when they came off the bike and the bike idled down as far as 650 before stalling and were nice and steady at 1050 were I keep them. They were fairly well synced so somebody did work on them. But the twisted floats seemed way out of line. I could only assume that they got dropped during shipping more than once?? [/QUOTE]
