its like getting a text in the middle of the night asking if you want the hook up and then never getting a response back after you reply.

So before I put the RHCC back on I need to replace some oil seals -- the problem is, I AM NOTOROUSLY BAD with seals. I got the two I need to replace out, finally, in a multitude of pieces (pic 1). Upon install, ruined the smaller of the two (comes out the top of the clutch cover) but successfully installed the larger (pic 2).
Additionally, i snapped a quick pic (#3) of the engine now that its complete and toruqed into place (the valve adjustment nuts are not torqued on yet because I'm going to put some oil in the head prior to startup, but the valves are adjusted and locknuts tightened).
#1:
#2:
I also have the seal thats located right above the one I replaced in this picture. I'm not sure if i want to fuck with it because it seems to be allrigt and removing that spring mechanism involves a buncha garbage.

Had some extra energy this evening so i tried to get some work done. Couldn't fuck with the rear brake light or turn signals (girl was asleep, too noisy) so i gave the Air tubes a real good cleaning and installed my drive sprocket.
One dirty one clean
These carbs are going to give me a big big headache.

I've seen pickling vinegar demolish some shit. Just make sure there are no rubber seals or anything that can get demolished. (same goes for electrolysis)
When you clean the jets, spray a blast of carb cleaner through them just to make sure they're not blocked.

I'll give anyone $50 to come to my apt and inspect/quickclean these carbs, and give me the basic info for how the fack I should install them They're overwhelming me. hahahahaha. I have half a mind to just install them as is and hope they're functional.
Just tell me what you'll need to get the job done and i'll make sure to have it when you arrive. $$$$ for nothin and the chicks for free (disclaimer: no chicks).

OK so scratch that (regardless of the apparent lack of interest - lol). I just went to sepearte the dual carbs and the two screws (step #1) won't budge. Starting to strip. SO I'm not worried about it - i have bigger fish to fry. I'm going to be installing them as is. Turns out i never received a carb insulator (#7 on site below) when i bought this bike -- whoopsi.
