    carbs are boiled

    Here we are, back in the same town as my uncle's '83 Venture, so working on it is how we're spending our three-day weekend. We pulled the carbs off. The slides were gummed up. We got them unstuck and pulled out, then boiled the carbs on the grill. We drained the old gas out of the tank and rinsed it some with fresh, and drained the old oil. After the carbs boiled, we put them back together and almost finished re-installing them on the bike. We're hoping that's all the carbs need. We're trying to avoid rebuilding them. We did see pin holes in the slide diaphrams, and are hoping they're not as expensive as Honda slides and diaphrams to replace. We got the oil drained, but haven't put fresh oil in yet. We still have several more things to do on our "short" list. I get to have my little bike with me this weekend, so I'm getting a bit of saddle time. Dh rode it here while I followed with our kidlet. It's four miles between my dad's house and my uncles, but riding's riding. I've got to get another pair of boots. I didn't take my sneakers to change into when I got to my uncle's earlier. My riding boots aren't good for working in. The sole on the left one is separated now. I had to tape it on to get back to my dad's house. Looks like Wal-Mart's going to get a visit from us. I'll either go ahead and epoxy the sole back on, or leave it to take to a cobbler and get some more height added. I might be able to ride one of our larger bikes more with thicker soles.
