Anyone on here, that lives in central Mass, any good at cleaning and setting up carbs?  I need someone to teach me.  I've tried.  I've failed. I need help.

I used that second link too.  Super helpful!  Cleaning carbs isn't rocket science.  Get a rebuild kit, a gallon of carb cleaner, big table, stay organized and follow those directions.  Take a lot of photos during disassembly.

Tuning carbs....technically speaking I think that could be classified as "rocket science"!

You have to tune them after you clean them and I'm no Rocket Surgeon or Brain Scientist.

True.  Lots of info on the forum here about that as well.  I'm currently trying to figure this out for myself so I'm not sure how much help I can provide.  The cleaning was relatively easy compared to the tuning.  Between jet sizing, needle clip position, float height, air screw position, intake/outake openness, timing, syncing.....it's seems pretty intimidating.  I think there's some good stuff in the FAQ as a starting point (if you want to give it a go yourself).  Good luck.
