As long as I can remember, every time I attempted to do something on my own it would result in having to hire a mechanically minded person to rectify both the original problem and the one I created. Following a manual is just something I can't do. However visual and live demonstrations I'll remember for life. Strange how individual's minds work differently.Once I have been shown what to do and have the confidence that what I am doing is correct, I would love to clean the carbs on my own. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who is willing to take the time to show me how to do it. I have been calling around and found a very regular response:3-4 hours of labor$95 - $110 / hourParts are $30/piece - I need 6boats.net sells the kit for $21/piece including tax and shipping.
