Carb Exchange Service

[one2dmax]

I just finished up doing my first set of carbs using my new heated ultrasonic tank. Wow, they looked like new!

Got them assembled and back on the bike and for the first time in many years this customers bike ran like a top.

I've got the second set already out of the tank and waiting on a few parts I haven't stocked before (doh!). Should have them together this weekend or maybe early next week.

I've considered doing a carb exchange service but not sure how many would be interested in that. it takes quite a bit of time to completely clean them like this but for carbs that are a real problem this seems to work well. I know this customers bill is $700 but he also need a few hard parts like emulsion jets and a carb diaphram (as well as some other labor on the bike chassis itself).

Probably looking at a realistic cost of around $400-$500 for the set ready to go exchanged (provided the exchanged carbs have good carb diaphrams). Of course I would install my kit on the carbs for no additional labor if someone wanted a kit at the same time.

nah, I can on this next set I suppose. Need to get a nasty set and do a before and after.

I used to use a heated ultrasonic tank to clean analyzer parts.

It's unbelievable how clean one of these can get stuff.

I have a customer that makes HUGE ultrasonic tanks. Big enough to put cars in... :surprise:

I think my carbs are OK so I don't need your service but I guarantee you that there are a lot of people that will need it.

Are you willing to set them up with your stage 6.5 too?

Yes, there would be no extra labor charge to set up the carbs at the same time I am cleaning them.
