Also, I cleaned the carbs ( removed ) on my Yamaha 200, and it was very easy. Carb cleaner will help without removing the Carbs, but only for High RPM problems, just shoot some of that stuff through the carb boul drain plugs, that will clean the lower high-rpm jets and all the junk from the boul`s bottom. If you decide to remove the carbs, get the gaskets before you start, that way you can reassemble same day which helps to remember how it goes back together.

Thanks for the offer JT. I am sure I will use you as a resource as well as all the gallery pics. Working today on getting the previous owners decals off the side. Going pretty quick actually. Now I just have to see if I can buff /compound the sourounding finish to match it all up. You can see the outline of not only the last name but also can tell it was named Blade Runner before that.

That's quite impressive... Not bad at all.
