    Hmmmm.... where DOES one draw the line, anyway?!?! Well, I'm still going, cuz there are no broken float towers, and things still keep coming apart. I think the challenge is actually gonna be to get the pieces of enriched shaft out.

    Even the mixture screw caps are still in! And the diaphragms are great :)

    That was the 1st thing I was curious about after seeing the hats completely perforated.
    The pigeons there are eating something very acidic.

    I expected to have holes, or be brittle. The thing that really is amazing is the sheer amount of black goo in the bowls! It is deep enough to have stretched out like taffy between the bowls and the main jets when I pulled the bowls off.

    No-- this for a 650rj. These are from another forum member. Based on his description, though, I would imagine the bike is worse than my drowned 650 turbo, though....

    You know, with the "Worst Rack I've Seen" title, in the Hangout Lounge, I really expected better pictures.o_O

    But those bowls ARE disgusting!
