[b:82d76ffbe4][i:82d76ffbe4]After getting caught up, on the carbs I had in the shack, A couple of guys talked me into guiding them up to a 'Little used', horse trail head, in the mountains. (has not been used since approx. 1999, with the exception of day riders) I was VERY surprised that the corrals, and trimmings, were still standing, after all these yrs.

Then, it was back to work in the carb. shack....got these two cleaned in the soak can, mic'd the kit parts, drill out the main jets, and main jet nozzel..(Broken)!!! Now waiting for a good day for blasting!!

Today will be spent...making an order for more parts, and buying the 20/30 grit media, for the two other carbs coming in this next few days!

Don't really know, how much longer I can do this stuff,...BUT for now, I'm hitting it a dang good lick!!!!

Glad you are enjoying it!!! Don't stop!
 
" Don't know how much longer I can do this stuff", give it a rest - just raise your prices into the real world and carry on. MANY folks rely on your fabulous skills and perserverence. There , take that ya lazy bastid !

Thanks for the repies Guys!!
As for getting my arm twisted off......for that kind of day, with the sleds, in the mountains......It don't take very much twisting for me.
Had a great ride and good company.....and, the 'Peppermint Schnapps' kept us warmed up.

The carb shack, is keeping me busy, BUT....that don't hold a candle to the adrenilene rush I get, on my sled!!!!!! 71yrs old, and still love the outdoor/ mountain trips.!!!

'Wild Turkey' ....the blue 'Iron Horse' !!!! :D

Man.. that makes me jealous.... I miss the mountains outside of Butte, MT when I was working up there. My ol RMK700 with the 136 track and 2" paddles took me up stuff I'd have never believed except for doing myself, but it stayed up in MT ;)
OH well.. Back in Missouri now... Big whooop of a snow storm supposed to be hitting....
