Check all the other simple stuff before pulling the carbs.

Plenty of people rush into the carbs and end up having to redo them numerous times because they miss the details. To do it right takes more than a "sponge and a rusty spanner" (Smiths reference for you music fans...) or a can of carb cleaner and a screwdriver.

If it gets to that point, speak up and we'll direct you to more info - or ducatiman for a pro job. Local shops know nothing about what needs to be done to clean and rebuild carbs at this point - so don't go there.
