Big Props: Oldskoolcarbs
« on: July 28, 2010, 06:43:40 AM »
It's not often that you meet a person or shop that goes out of their way to help you out and stand by their work. When you do, it's worth mentioning.
 Rick at Oldskoolcarbs is not only a nice guy, but he's very knowledgeable about what he does. Customer service is second to none. I'm lucky enough that he lives about a mile and a half from me. His shop is clean, neat and well organized. He takes pride in his work and is a man of his words.
 He did some work on my CB500 carbs, but he's knowledgeable about XS650 carbs as well as other Yamaha, Kawasaki and other models. CV, flat slides, you name it.

 If you need some carb work done or a set rebuilt. I highly recommend him.
 Reach him via email at: rick690@msn.com

 Or, visit his ebay store: http://myworld.ebay.com/oldskoolcarbs&ssPageName=STRK:MEFSX:SELLERID

 (He doesn't have anything listed on ebay right now, but take a look at a recent auction and you can see the quality of his work.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330449580393&viewitem=  )

OOOHHHHH Shiney!

Any idea how much he charges for a set of four Hondas? If I can't find anybody locally I would send mine off to him.

 I'm not really sure. He does ebay auctions and buy-it-now stuff. I swapped him a set of XS650 carbs for partial credit AND I had already done some cleaning on my CB500 carbs. I guess it would depend on how much work your carbs needed; rebuild kits, parts, jets, etc.
 Shoot him an email. I can't say enough about how easy he is to work with.
