CB550 Carb Rebuilder
« on: September 03, 2018, 11:40:59 AM »
I hate to be "that guy" who asks the obvious question, so I spent a couple of hours searching the forum and couldn't find the info.

I have a 1974 CB550 that needs a complete carb rebuild.  I remember in the past seeing the name/contact info of someone on the forum who does a great job with this, but I can't find it.

Who is the best person to use for this rebuild?  It's a job I can't tackle myself.

If you say Harisluv three times he will appear and restore your carbs.

James Hale (aka Harisuluv) has been MIA for several months. Shame, he does excellent work. There’s another guy, Rick at Old School Carbs in SC who is also excellent. Scott s has contact info for him.

I found an oldschoolcarbs.com in San Jose, CA.  Is that the correct one?  Anyone have contact info on Harisuluv?

OK.  Found Rick.  His facility is Oldskoolcarbs in South Carolina.  I will call him tomorrow.  If anyone has contact info for Harisuluv please pass it on.

Harisuluv you can PM through the forum. Rick in SC is currently a better bet. Hope James is doing OK  :-\
