    Hi guys, so the last few months I have been all through my carbs trying to get them to work...

    My bike sat for 10 years without moving... no she starts on the first spin every time.

    Throughout the "journey, I have logged, and taken pictures of every step, incase I actually succeeded :twisted:

    If anyone has any questions about a specific problem, post here and I will upload pictures with an explanation if I have one. This is my way of giving back to everyone who helped me!!!

    Sweet! I'd put them up and then see if a moderator will move it to the FAQ section! Can't wait to read! :)

    What bike? Mikunis or Hitachis?

    If you have the pics and the time, do a "how to." Don't let me have all the fun.

    You have been a huge help to me also. I just wished I lived closer to you so I could get some hands on experience with you as well.

    I too have found BigFitz posts to be very helpful. Did the Moderators setup your pic's somewhere?

    82 550 seca--whats initial idle screw settings to start adjusting carbs?. Messed with it and now, starting at two and a half turns out on idle screws, can't get it to idle without choke, (was always that way, but now choke setting is VERY touchy and it will rev high at the slightest touch of throttle. How can I get back to "square one"?).

    Alternatively, any good moonlighter mechanics in or near Manchester NH?

    Thanks for any help.
