Hi,

I shouldn't be concerned about this so called JB welded post?

When you take the carbs apart for cleaning, have a look and evaluate. I've seen some broken float posts repaired very well.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Ok. I'll give it a shot to have it rebuilt and cleaned.

I don't think I have the patience to do that. Hmmmm

Learn some patience, you need some working on these bikes at times. We have all had our moments with the GS. If ya ride it, gotta know how to fix it.

I had mentioned last night that we would soon have his carbs "in a hundred pieces".

Tonight, he believes me.
