in terms of<BR>difficulty where 5 can be pretty difficult for the average
owner?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>No, the bushings aren't part of a rebuild kit. Since you're in P.R., I'd
remove the base plate from the carbs, and talk to a good local machinist about
replacing them. It'll be cheaper in the long run, versus shipping them to and
from the states.</DIV>

<DIV>As for the rest of the kit, it's probably a 2 (maybe a 1.5) on a 1
to 5 scale of difficulty. The biggest thing is to have a can of carb cleaner
(1 gallon can with a basket), and some compressed air for cleaning out the
passages and jets. Like I said, most kits come with instructions, and it's
basically a tear it down, soak a while, blow it out, and re-assemble type of
thing. Just remember to try and re-use your old needle and seat assembly, as
the new ones in the kits have been causing problems with flooding and not
shutting off the fuel flow. :O
