not easy to predict difficulty, corrosive effects of humidity, ethanol, storage conditions, prior owner abuse (overtightening stuff, stripping, mauling pilot jet heads)...all can combine to determine actual condition of metals, threads, fasteners, etc.

I see a lot of carb sets...ya never know what you'll find in there.

Some routine, some tricky, some complicated, some a downright b***h

Worst nightmare...removal of pilot jets via drilling and easy out. Peripheral damage to be carefully avoided....nerve wracking! On the right a Mikuni BST33 from a bank of 4...90's vintage...tricky R&R and synchronization. The little voice inside my head said "work slowly, one at a time, Gordo."
