Welcome, you have found "The place to be for all things GZ". But why do you think you look dumb on it.

I say that cuz im like 6'2 or 3 and pretty hefty

music man · 07-05-2008, 11:58 AM

I Haven't actually met anyone that is on here but from the descriptions most of them give of themselves, "Including me" I am

6'1" about 200lb's, I think you just described in the height and/or weight department you just described most of the people on

here.

What you look like on your bike really only matters to you. Just some "food for thought".

Gotta ask: Why do you need a new carb ? That's not an item that "wears out" too often.

Praterjack · 07-05-2008, 03:28 PM

I need the carb because it got a vacume leak in an odd spot and the dealer said it would be more cost efficient on me if i bought a whole carb.

Well of course the dealer told you that... they probably make more money off replacing a carb than rebuilding one. Are you having them replace it, or are you going to do it yourself?

All dealers are not demons. :roll:

His statement about the leak being in an odd place, leads me to believe that there is a HOLE somewhere in the BODY of the carb......as opposed to a leaking gasket or similar........something that might turn out to be not repairable. Under those circumstances, I think I'd want a new one too.

Just to nitpick on your generalization, SOME dealers are indeed demons.

...it's all in good fun.
