ok weather conditions have line up to where im looking at these carbs now really for the first time ...they are getting ready to be used on hooch maybe after a testing with 1100 carbs is complete ....there looking nice ...appear to maybe have after market parts in it not sure yet ...the bowl gaskits seemed sloppy cut ...inside they looked clean ..ill check the idle jets soon ...right now im cleaning up the slides ..they were rather sticky ... and a lot lot of fine cleaning here to do ...to me this is the most important part to get slides to operate instantly ...the bike cant if the slides dont....ill take some pics and put up soon

well been through slides and bowls this is a canident for flow and stop flow bench test now if it paases that ...i will try them ...some pics
pic of idle jet clearing bit ....still ned to clear idle jets and reset floats and some outside cleaning to do
so far im i havnt done much but look things over and clean ...i must say one bowl gaskit out of four was really sad looking fit ...i might just steal some original gasl=kits i have to use from crummy rack of carbs that will never be again ....
im totaly in the camp that buying rebuild kits is 90% waste of time as most carbs dont suffer from bad oring or even worn o rings ...and if bad it isnt all of them ...and its seems always a cleaning where its cloged up deal...this rack is the first one ive got that seems to have after markit parts ...let me say i think is best unless totally not useable to try original parts and replace nothing and thorough cleaning first ...and pretty much here on this rack :mrgreen:

I'm with you, Joe.
Most "rebuilds" require just a cleaning.
When parts are needed, they're usually minimal.
O-rings I buy a ACE Hardware at a fraction of the cost of the "Specialist" suppliers.
"Viton" as a compound appears to be a mandatory synthetic for o-rings as set forth by who?, ...someone with the ability to effectively market the what?, ...the product?
Sheeesh, man.
Fear is insanity, as is a $9.00 o-ring for any carburetor.
