robinc, glad to hear your not all oily now!!!!
YES.......we are SO lucky to have those kind of fellows around. I'm not working on an XS carb........it's on a 1993 and by that time they were thinking they should go ahead and move to EFI......the carb is very complicated...at least for me it is.
When I did my B model XS carbs.......first CV carbs I've messed with. This site had ALL the information to get the job done.....GREAT photos and narrative was written so you could follow along. My XS carbs came out fine....had to tweak them a bit (can't remember now what the problem was but 5twins had the answer) and they have worked flawlessly ever since.
The carb I'm working on now........I'm on another web site for it and information wise it's like night and day to this site.
Okay....gota get to work. Take care and keep warm.......spring is just around the corner. :O)
Your friend in NC, Gordon
