I was able to rescue a set of RS34's from my grandfathers rotting bike. My uncle probably won't be too happy, but I doubt he'll even notice for another 5 years. So now I'll add rebuilding carburetors to my to do list :whistle: So far this list is just getting bigger, not smaller!

You know, I put these carbs on my grandads bike and it was a night and day difference. I just hope the consumable parts don't cost me an arm and a leg to go through them :dry:
