Cool, Man.  Thanks for the tips.  I was going to use a handle from a broken ball-peen hammer to do the tapping.  I am not the most mechanically savvy dude on my block. I've fixed a carburator before but it was nowhere near as complicated as these.  I don't want to learn how to do it on my daily rider and scrwe it up in the process.  If it was on a stand in the re-build process that would be a different story.

So, if it involves taking the carb bank off I think I'm going to pay someone (who warranties their work) to fix it.  That way it gets done right and if it doesn't; it's getting done right the second time.  

I really didn't want to work on the carbs just yet since I plan on putting a sweet 4to1 exhaust and some race-carbs next winter. I just want the damned thing to stop spilling that precious $4.35/gal nectar! LOL!

Thanks again!
