So I'm going to part it out If anyone is interested in parts let me know. I just had the carbs rebuilt they are the Kei Hein carbs ,Thanks Matt you can give me a ring at 512-785-0484 also http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...imageID=7990208 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...imageID=7990204 http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...imageID=7990229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
