Called my local Honda dealer for estimate for carb clean on recently purchased '88 GL1500. His guess was $400 - $800 if nothing but carb clean and possibly diaphragms. Very high number compared to what similar service has cost me in the past on other bikes. Is this typical for the six cyl gold wings?
If yes how hard is it for a reasonably competent mechanic (me). I have done engine rebuilds on several different bikes and cleaned & balanced a lot of carbs in my day. thx. Mark in MN
