[QUOTE="The 208, post: 196776, member: 17575"] Hi all. Noob here but not new to bikes/atv's. I'm a retired sheet metal guy and I do some part time work at home on bikes and quads, etc. I'm not new to wrenching on bikes. I've been riding and maintaining/ repairing my own for 14 years now. I started doing work in my garage about 5 years before I retired from the trade. A few months ago I fixed a 1966 CT 90 for a guy. He spent over 700 at a local shop, and they fixed a few things, but, the carb still leaked and it didn't run right. So, I took it and cleaned out the tank, replaced the fuel lines and added inline filters, new air filter, put a battery in it and changed the needle valve/ seat. Voila!
