Welcome!  There is a lot of information about carb rebuilding and tuning here on the forum - I think you'll have no trouble finding all the help you need. :)

Yeah, loads of info, almost to much!
It is a hard work to get relevant info, mind you it is much easier then learning on own mistakes...

Thank you for welcome!

One thing which is OK on my bike is inside of the tank...
I started on carbs, got 5L of degreaser on cleaned crap form outside.
Have to wait until Saturday as work is getting in the way...  ;D

I'm looking for a detailed carb rebuild thread, is there one?

Registration module is available, but immediately reports a problem that says I am a spammer.... :(

And I only want to talk about my new to me 1974 CB125

"Rock" came up with over 1000 hits on the spammer database. Not you, but hundreds of them with "rock" in the username.

I've sent you a personal (manual) registration - how's that for service.
