Dude, I have a set of EX500 carbs that I was rebuilding/ cleaning. The bike had been sitting for a couple months and of course, someone else was going to do some work before I ever saw it.

Anyway, took the one side apart and it wasn't too bad; expected more varnish than what I saw. When I took the second side apart is when I found out that the cast aluminum on the diaphragm side was broken off at the seal. I was wondering if there was something (JB Weld?) that would bond it together and be reliable, or should I just look for another set of carbs?

Also...you ever hook up an alarm/ remote starter on a bike before? Got one to try on the 636, and if I like it, I might put one on the fighter. On the plus side, I can get a discount for having the alarm on the bike...plus I can be the coolest with the remote start on the bike and the truck!!
