Send it to me. I'll do it for half that.
You can do this yourself, feel a great sense of accomplishment, and save $99, plus shipping both ways? You can also find out what charming, delightful, knowledgeable fellas populate this site. You can do it in one afternoon.

I'd send it to Mothersbaugh even if he was more expensive....  I trust he knows these old carbs really well. 

If you use Facebook guy make sure he uses genuine Mikuni jets (if he changes any) and not "kit jets" like Keyster brand.

I qualify for this job. Email me if you like. Carburetors are like walking through an orchard picking low bearing fruit.
