What's to learn? Put on truck, drive to friend, ask for service.

Sounds like he already knows the routine.

I agree. For whatever reason, I'm scared of taking those darn carbs out and apart to clean!

For what it's worth, carbs are actually fairly easy. There's a process to them, lots of steps along the way, but nothing is hard. It takes a few tries of doing them before you feel comfortable making the fine adjustments... But you can absolutely do it.

One day maybe I'll give it a shot.

Ask your buddy to oversee you pulling them apart next season... Great way to get comfortable.

My first sled I was always afraid to take things apart, or remove, for I feared what was behind that I could not see, and wouldn't be able to put back together. However after jumping in and trying it once, it's a rewarding feeling when you resolve an issue with your sled on your own. Not to mention a time and money saver in most cases. If you do attempt a service or repair and need help, trust me this is the best place for help.

I'm pretty mechanical actually but something about carbs just makes me nervous.
