not only ugly, it doesn't run

I need to replace the doohickey on my A18. After studying several web "walk thru's" and considering my limited mechanical skills, I believe I could do more harm than good by tackling this job on my own. I don't trust my dealer (and prob couldn't afford him!). Is there anyone with experience (and tools) that I could pay to assist / supervise? I'd love to gain the experience of working on the internals, but can't afford to screw this job up! I'm in the North Atlanta area. Thank you.

Wait for a tech day in your area; you will be able to get hands-on assistance from lots of able practitioners. I believe there will be a large gathering not too far from you (NC or E. TN) next summer. Check out KLR650.net and search for "Ducktown".

Everyday is Tech-Day with the help of the various KLR sites, a manual(s), preparation (study task before starting and be aware of potential pitfalls; parts, tools, consumables, etc.), good work area, ample time, and *patience*. The job is done when you're done. You can do it. The more you do the more confidence you'll have and the better you'll get. Happy wrenching.

What a waste. The owner should be tarred and feathered for treating a KLR like that Rick A17 Arden Kysely wrote: A friend of mine looking for a used KLR found this lovely specimen. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/mcy/108277177.html __Arden --------------------------------- Yahoo!
