Steve, I am not one to tell people not to spend money as it is so good for
the economy but you may not need rebuild kits for your carbs, unless from
the outside they look really bad, then chances are you will need a kit. One
thing to check is to see that the cardboard gaskets at the top of the square
slide are in good shape, these are often overlooked. Did Gary or anyone
else talk to you about choke cables being free and of the synched? That's a
good thing to check. Bob

Thanks for the suggestions, that will give me somewhere to start on. I did
drain the oil/gas mix to change for straight oil in the Eldo. I'll go
through the carbs Bob and thanks for the tip about 1 at a time. As to the
Ambassador I'll reset the timing, "d'oh" even a rookie like me should have
done that first! Both have VHB carbs, guess I'll be needing about 4 rebuild
kits and some in-line filters, gaskets etc., I'll do all you suggested and
then I'm sure I'll be back with more problems. On the Ambo I re-set the
valves at .15 intake/.25 exhaust, they are on the loose side and clattering
nicely.

and for Gary, you were right, I started the Eldo with the rear wheel off and
put it in gear I can both hear and feel "clunking" from the drive line right
near the u-joint, guess that will be coming up in the near future.

Does anyone know if I can switch the entire drive line from the Ambassador
over to the Eldo without major headache's? The Eldo engine is in much
better shape as is the chassis if I could get one bike out of the two
running then I would be a lot happier while working on the other. In either
case it looks like I have some carb work to do first. I'll get on the line
to MG cycle Monday and get me some implements of destruction.
