    So I was installing the new float needles I got from Chacal, and ALL of my float bowls were stuck. First one I got off with out too much trouble, and the second one was a different story. I bent that small tube coming from the carb body.... This is the exact reason I bought a second bike. If any one has a use for a broken carb send me a PM

    Ya Know - - it's not the end of the world to have just 3 out of 4 Enrichment (choke) circuits working.

    Your bike will still cold-start OK, assuming it's in good tune otherwise.

    By the end of the driveway, you'll be right as rain.

    But I have a spare set of carbs on a spare bike. Id rather have this bike perfect. Im planning on doing a bobber with the second one so maybe i'll use the bad carb on that one.
