Mostly because I don't know how they work or how to troubleshoot them.

Or tune them.

Matter of fact, carburetors are evil.  The Debil even.

They're fairly simple, I just hate having to tear half of the bike apart to get to them.

Nope !!
wouldn't a so so job that actually paid you be a better alternative than a good paying job that steals your money?

dp, I need a job that pays at least $1200/month, so that I can pay mortage and the rest of monthly bills, wife pays for her car and does supermarket ... last job I had paid $400/month plus $150~200.00 in coimssions .... I'm way behind in lots of payments and nobody wants to hire a 43yr old guy cause 'I'm out of my prime' ... in other words, they can't mold me into their system ...

Working on it ... just need them to pay at least the same I'm getting paid here ...

Doesn't look like you're getting paid anything at all.

Any job would be a step up as far as your bank account would be concerned.

Right?

I understand, but you're not getting anything right now regardless of what they say your salary is.

I also understand about not getting hired because of age.

My options are:

1. Wait for the love to arrive and have a serious talk with my boss who's coming next week for an install
2. Do the install, get paid for April and quit
3. Go back to $400 +$150~$200/month and be behind in all pmnts
4. Ask around to see who would lend me money so that I could open a small shop and go from there ...
5. Or, stick a finger in my mouth, keep this job, in which I have no direct supervision, and get a part time job[if I find it] and fiddle the expenses and/or let Gina go ...
6. Let Gina go as well as P229 and F99R; forget about hi speed internet and cable and get a pre-paid home phone line ...

These are my options ...

1. Wait for the love to arrive and have a serious talk with my boss who's coming next week for an install thought you already had the talk
2. Do the install, get paid for April and quit makes no sense because then they'll stiff you for the install and you still lose
3. Go back to $400 +$150~$200/month and be behind in all pmnts that isn't gonna work
4. Ask around to see who would lend me money so that I could open a small shop and go from there ... possibilities
5. Or, stick a finger in my mouth, keep this job, in which I have no direct supervision, and get a part time job[if I find it] and fiddle the expenses and/or let Gina go ...not bad except for letting the bike go...gotta do what you gotta do
6. Let Gina go as well as P229 and F99R; forget about hi speed internet and cable and get a pre-paid home phone line ...now you're talking nonsense

These are my options ...
I'm probably not helping

Tell your boss he better have a check with him or he'll be installing it himself.

Yeah but there's the matter of like 200 extra pounds.

The 999 is a fatty
