I've read the same, but the clientele that will likely buy this bike, (im hoping for around $1500) will likely do more so based on how it looks vs what carbs its running. I dont think there would be enough return on that investment, unless i pull these apart and they are to far gone or something.Carbs on these bikes are super shitty. If you can get it running, leave it that way and let someone with a love for the machine work out the kinks. I can't remember exactly which model it is, but one of the Triumph Triple carbs are a straight swap.
