    I got it figured out! This is a no JB weld, no drilling on the carb body, a 'almost-anyone-can-do-it' repair. For a fully DIY job, some fab skills and precision tools would be needed, but for those who are less skilled or lacking tools, I'm going to offer a $25 'kit' that anybody with a file can install.

    As soon as I get my new digital camera up and running on this 'puter, I'll post the details and how-to pics.... if I can get photobucket to cooperate.
    Did you ever get that camera working? Would love to see that new repair option!
    1980 XS850SG - Sold
    1981 XS1100LH Midnight Special (Sold) - purchased 9/29/08
    Fully Vetterized and Dynojet Kit added, Heated Grips, Truck-Lite LED headlight, Accel Coils, Irridium plugs, TKAT Fork Brace, XS850LH Final Drive & Black SS Brake lines from Chacal.
    Here's my web page devoted to my bike! XS/XJ User's Manuals there, and the XJ1100 Service Manual and both XS1100 Service manuals (free download!).

    Whether you think you can, or you think you cannot - You're right.
