I'm glad to hear you're mobile again, sir!

If nothing else, by the time you're back to 100% you'll be a carb master! (and with these machines, that's probably a very good thing!)

In all seriousness though, it would probably be wise to change out the fuel hoses to something competant. I can't speak for your specific model, but everything I own, and have worked on has the nastiest, cheesi-est crap on them for fuel lines. May a fuel filter would be a good idea too.

But back to the subject at hand-- You're getting there. Patience and perseverence wins every time, and the more you can handle yourself, the lesss you are at the Mercy of the bike shops. At least locally, I've found bike and boat shops really have no idea how carbs work. (Ask me about the local Mercury Marine dealer sometime....)

Best Wishes
--Vince
