You'll never recoup the money you spend on a carb or a dyno tune. Put it together and let's see how she does. I bet I can get her running pretty fair for nothing, provided the diaphragm isn't perforated or something.

I must have missed the part where he said the idea was to 'flip' the bike for a profit. And I agree, he doesn't need another carb for a Stage 2 EVO build. That CV will be fine.
Granted, with a minimum of work he should be able to get the carb dialed in. But it's been my experience that a good dyno tuned carb is worth the money. Especially if it's a bike you're keeping.

I'd just pull the bowl on the cv and make sure it is clean. Then note jetting and if it has any mods (dj kit). Then pull the top and verify diaphragm is soft and free of holes.

I think part of my problem is that I like upgrades.
Once I start it is hard to stop!!!!
It is awful nice to have a bike to ride while I am working on the other one.
