Default Re: Yamaha Carb(s) Rebuild??

Just an FYI. I stopped by the dealer to buy a special "yamaha" bolt for the lower unit. a 10MM, 1.25 machine (fine thread) bolt w/
a tiny 14MM head about 2-1/2" long.
Try finding that at Lowes, Home Depot, etc! Dealership price to me $10.58.

While I was there, I asked about the OEM carb rebuild kit. They told me it was $208 and included all the parts for 3ea 2V carb or the whole engine. I also asked about labor for them to install / rebuild and TUNE the carbs. They said one hour labor per carb. So the math looks like this:

carb kits = $210 + labor (3hrs x $85/hr) = 255
Total job done by authorized Yamaha dealer = $465.

Not cheap but I thought it was a "fair" price

Comments??
