Don't know if I'll be doing that either. I think I'll probably just keep riding it the way it is until the Fall season and wait until next Spring to do something. Maybe I'll go to the casino.
$40 just assures you bring the tester back to the shop. Money is refunded to you.

For the price of the tune up you can do it all yourself and have some new tools left over when the job is done. You will need tools and they last a lifetime.

You guys may be right about the tester but the employee did definitely not tell me that. He recommended I buy one instead. You're also right about doing the repairs myself. I think I will try when it gets too cold for me to ride (fairweatherrider). Thanks for the encouragement. I still think it's the carburetor.

I removed the plug and checked the adjustment on the screw. It was set at one turn. I gave it 2 more turns (counterclockwise). I started the bike and it idled beautifully. I'll take it for a ride tomorrow after the rain. I thank you all for the help.

You mention two (2) vacuum hoses; I removed and reinstalled the tank but only found one vacuum hose. Do I have a problem and if so which one?
