    WOW! All these XJs in the St. Louis area! Even 1 in High Ridge. I live in Cedar Hill.

    I've been looking for a St. Louis Carb Clinic. Anyone have the knowledge and up for one? I would be willing to host. Not that I have anything special to offer. I live in a subdivision. Don't have a "shop". Don't have the tools yet (I'm looking to buy them). Nor the expertise. But I do have the desire to meet other XJrs as well as get my newly acquired bike in tune. I have the XJCDs. I have a 2 car garage that we can work in. And I have a BBQ grill. What more do we need?

    Anyone interested?

    Hi, I live in St.Louis. I would be interested in getting together for a ride and setting up a carb clinic. I have the knowledge and tools but not the space for the clinic.

    Let's do it. Carb Clinic at my house. I have a 2 car garage and BBQ. I also have Carbtune and 14 mm Colortune on order. Should be here soon. I have YICS tool on order. Have no idea when that will come. I also plan to order a "box" of shims with my next paycheck. gwh57 has the knowledge and tools. (gwh57 do you have a YICS tool?)

    So is the beginning of July a good time? Let's make it happen.

    I forgot i even posted this untill i talked to Keith on the mailing list. I think a Mid west carb clinic would be great! And it looks like we would have a place to do it thanks to keith, And gwh57 said he has the tools and knowledge. I will bring some brats. but it would have to be on a sunday for me.

    Early July works for me. I can do it either the 1st or the 15th. I have been looking for a reason to put my new throtle cable on.

    I can host either day; Sunday July 1st or Sunday July 15th. gwh57 do you have a preference?

    Let's see if we can get some of these other guys to join us.

    Great! Let's make it July 15th then. ridz contacted me via pm to say that the 15th would be better for him. Plus with just a little more time maybe we can get some of these other guys to join in. I sent everyone on this thread a pm.

    Do either of you guys have a YICS tool? I don't. However, I do now have a Carbtune II and a 14 mm Colortune plug. I also have a lawn mower gas tank with a shut-off valve to use as our fuel supply, a couple of box fans for the air cooled bikes, and plenty of wrenches, ratchets, and sockets.

    I will also get some burgers and dogs to BBQ. And chips and soda. Feel free to bring a guest and we'll make a day of it. (I also have a pool if it simply gets too hot. :>)

    I will pm all of you with my address and a google map link.
