    Anyone want to clean/rebuild carbs.

    I am looking for someone to clean/rebuild my carbs. i have an 81 gs1000gl. I have seen alot of how-to's but i don't get along very well with small intricate parts. I surely would forget to put something in or lose something important. I was wondering if there were someone that would be able to inspect them and then clean/rebuild as necessary. I live in north central illinois but i can ship them as necessary. If interested please let me know how much and maybe a timeline ie.. "1 month"

    Thanks all

    Call me at 714-356-7845. I will do them for $160.00 + whatever parts they need. I have done more than 300 sets of carbs from all makes so I know what I'm doing & how to do them correctly. Ray.

      GEEEEZ Ray...with prices like that, you could start a bidding war! JK

      If you don't want to do them yourself, have someone here do them for ya...they'll be done right!

        I might be able to help you out depending on where in illinois you are at. I am about 15 minutes south of Joliet in Wilmington. I did my own carbs on a gs1100gl last summer.

              I'll do them if you send me the carbs, an o-ring kit, and at least the float bowl gaskets or full rebuild kits.

                All of you close-to-Joliet guys best come out of the woodwork this summer for a Starved Rock cruise.

                          No no, it's always a whim of the moment type thing.

                          I know that Craiger was talking about doing a Springfield cruise as well.

                          I figured for you wilmington guys, we could hook up by Dupont road. I made it out there twice last season.

                            When do you guys do this? Someone PM me a date or website, i'm in Mokena and hoping to get my GS55L running good this summer.

                            EDIT. I may even get the wife on the back, she loves Starved Rock.
