Well, spring is just around the corner and it is time that I start sorting out things on my 79 Goldwing... all of the things I meant to do months ago!
One thing I am considering but cannot decide on. I think I need to do a carb rebuild. A local bike store said they could do it for $400. That is a lot of money right now and I have no way of knowing if they would do it right.
So I am thinking I might get Randakks kit with the parts and the video. But before I do, I am wondering if I am biting off more than I can chew. So I was wondering about how long such a project would take for a first-timer, and how complicated it is. I have never done a carb rebuild. I am aware there are a million tiny parts and that great care is needed. I am good with that, but worry that it may be a job best left to "experts."
I usually do my own adjustments, maintenance, and repairs - but I jsut don't know how complicated this process is. Hard to tell from the tutorials I have seen.
Any thoughts on the time requirements and complexity of rebuilding with the Randakk video and kit???
Thanks!
