Wow, $600, really? :brow
Thanks for the Glen connection.
My gut feeling is that I'll be finding the time.
Thanks for the info.

I'm with Brittrunyon - $600 for carb rebuilds is insane price. Plus get to puff out your chest a bit when you do it yourself...and use the $600 to get a pair of Delorto pumpers. Get a grip Bing!

Bad advice! Very bad advice! Other than the image that the dell'Ortos have of being on the famous R90S, they have nothing going for them. Aux contraire! As far as maintenance, they are a pita and the performance advantage is just not there. We are talking 30 year old bikes here. Who do you want to outrun with your airhead?

Some people don't have access to good cleaning equipment, don't want to hassle with grinding and re-staking the screws, etc. Some people just don't want to spend their time fixing stuff; they just want the stuff to work.

I just couldn't get past the notion of the $600 flying out the door...
