Pulled and drained gas tank, removed carbs. Looking to clean them good and replace some orings. Anyone near Fredericksburg want to help out? First time messing with carbs, would be nice to get some pointers. Beer included.

was messing with my carbs today... got everything put back together, looked at my work space and saw the spring I'd forgotten to put back where it belongs.

good news is that that bike isn't misfiring any more.
bad news is that the throttle cable is routed wrong, so when the bars are far right, the engine revs. gotta take stuff apart again.
