The chase and fight scene between Warriors vs the Baseball Furies is my favorite fight scene in the movie. And the soundtrack was fantastic.  


Those carbs looks like they will need major overhaul.

We had a rack of Z1 carbs a few years ago in about the same shape.  They ended up pretty nice after many hours in an ultrasonic tank & elbow grease on the carb bench.

Please update as you go for the benefit of all with recommendations, how-tos, before & after pics, and general bellyachin', of which there will probably lots.

Good Ridin'

My guy with an ultrasonic tank already gave up on them. He says they are parts carbs. I'm looking at another set.

Is this one of those situations where a young person has to shout to an older person to keep them in the conversation? I SAID MY CARB GUY GAVE UP ON THE CARBS AND I'M BUYING ANOTHER SET. THEY ARE NOW PARTS CARBS.

Perhaps this is one of those situations where an older person has to shout to a youngster to keep them in the conversation.  ANSWER THE FOOKIN QUESTION!

It could be that the person posting the question has a reason for that question that you have not thought of.

It's left it's carbs overnight in it's bath of vibration and it's condition now is it's.

I bought a beautiful pair off a crashed bike for $45 shipped. I'm not going to ungang those either.
