In the meantime, is there anyone in the immediate area that would be interested in helping me remove/clean the carb, do a needle shim adjust, and change from 15t to 16t sprocket?

I've become addicted to this forum in the last week, ever since I sold my 2001 Honda Rebel for a 2001 GZ250. All the posts on these topics are detailed, but again.... I'm an idiot, and I don't want to ruin anything. :??:

I wished you lived closer, I would not even hesitate to help you with your carb (my only demand is I supervise, you wrench, and you learn ! :2tup: . My rate is 1 cold one/hr :cool:

I've helped a half dozen new riders learn and perform their own basic repairs. It's a great "feeling" to help someone who was previously scared to death of opening up a pair of forks or a carb, or change sprockets and chain.... hopefully someon close to you will chime in !

If all else fails, PM me, and I can walk you through it right over the phone some saturday...
