OUTCOME:
Mechanic denied, denied, denied. He will take no responsibilty for the state of my bike. Said it would take him another hour to put it back as it was and he would charge me for it. Yeah right! It really ****es me off because I could have paid a five year old to balance my carbs with the same outcome. Surely you pay for "the job" rather than the time. A good mechanic should know how long a particular job will take and quote appropriately. Maybe I'm just being naive. Basically he said he gave me advice before he started and I didn't take it. I asked.. "what advice was that?"... he said that balancing the carbs may not "improve" how it was running. I said that I DID take that advice and decided to give it a shot anyway. I told him that if he had told me before hand that there was a chance he would make make my engine worse, then there is no way in hell I would have paid him to "give it a go".
Anyway... a few bucks poorer but a bit wiser I think. Lesson learnt...
IF YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT.... DO IT YOURSELF!!!
