    If all else fails ... CLEAN YOUR CARBS .... AGAIN.
    Doing so can even cure suspected electrical problems :-)

        Congrats, Rob! I am learning your credo this week about carbs. Battle Cruiser took on a rich #2 carb. I cleaned the carbs (first time removal, took two beers), obviously not good enough. I figured out those screens over the Float Pin come off on # 3 after doing 1 and 2. Wasn't thinking clearly (might have been the beers) and didn't go back and do the screens on 1 and 2.

        I'll get them this time

          I hear ya .. I have had my carbs on and off my bikes sooo many times now that I could likely take them off with a blind fold on and still have it done in 15 minutes :-)
