I have a 79 xs1100 special with 19k miles that was running rough so I removed the carbs and cleaned them as per the instructions from the owners manual. I also removed the leaking Octy as per the posts I found on on this forum. My problem is it will start but still does not run right as it hesitates and will not idle correctly. I have limited tools so would like to know of someone familiar with these bikes that I could take it to in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area to help me out. Thanks.

Great guys.
Try "The Shop". They are fantastic mechanics & work exclusively on Japanese and European bikes. Located in Bayview by the old tannery works. They are usually pretty busy, but do great work.
