Help , need a Honda person

[Thom]

a friend of mine needs some help with his 99 1500 honda valk. he paid a honda shop a lot of money to clean his carbs and now his float needle valves will not seat , the mech. installed new needle valves and polished the seats but gas still leaks past , he said there is no way to adjust the floats ?? anybody know how to adjust the floats ? he told me today that a new set of carbs cost 1700.00 not installed . i need to help him get the Valk. running so i can out run him , i do not want to run him on his other bike , a m109r Susy , he came by the shop today to ask for help and show me the 109 after looking at the 109 i kinda tucked my tail , man that is a lot of bike !

If the shop screwed up his carbs, should the shop not fix his carbs?? Just wondering.

You don't get much more basic on a carb than in the needle valve operation. I would be going back to the Honda shop and tell them to fix it or give me my money back. I have never seen a float that is not adjustable. I have never heard of a new needle valve having to be polished.

He needs to grow some and go back to the Honda shop.
