i was hoping someone on here knows a few things about bikes. got some work about to get done on my 83 yamaha vision. its "shaft" drive, v-twin, dual carburetors. the guy at cycle ***** is charging me 300.00 to take apart and completley clean both carburetors and replace the "needles" in both of them because they poor out gas, replace the hoses, redo the oil and oil filter. i know its a semi rare bike and parts are a little hard to come by and i think its a fair prise....just hopin for some input from someone with experience...thanks.

These days that is a fair price if work is done right.Bike must have set a while and what we have for fuel these days will totally screw up a carb.Must use "Stabil" fuel stabilizer in anything that isn't run regularly. |

Sound like needle valve or float is sticking...Try tapping on em trick first.? but if that bad may need rebuilt anyway.
