I mean, I learned to rebuild all 12 (2 boats, both twin engine, 3 carbs per engine) of my Mikuni carbs by following a write up posted to a popular jet ski forum.

Besides I'm not keeping the bike. Now that my wife and I have kids, we're selling our motorcycles. I just need it to run so I can sell it.
Details...details...details...a lot of people don't get the details right - at least the first time.

Depending on the severity of the issues, it can take more than just a can of carb cleaner and a screwdriver to do the job right. Sometimes that's all people have to work with.

For those that want it done completely, absolutely, positively correct the first time, and don't have all the tools and skills required, ducatiman is The Man.

Sounds like you have it figured out.
