Thanks.  I was able to crank down on the clamp enough that I now only have a tiny leak not enough to cause any performance issues.  I'll look into the set, thanks.

Joined and read this post 1 Day too late.

Ordered a muffler from him yesterday for my S40.

Everyone please cross your fingers for me.

P.S. Luckily I ordered the jetset from Lancer.

'Prolly a Hartmann mod, idle mixture and needle lift. Can't think of many other no cost modifications.

I ordered his dvd last year just to see what was on it.  It is a mish-mash collection of motorcycle stuff from around the net, with some more specific stuff on the LS650...most of which comes from the tech section of this website or discussion items from other parts of this site.
The only thing I saw that was anything near original for him was that he also included a complete copy of the book "The Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance" (I think that is the way the title goes but could be a bit off on it).  Over all, there is almost nothing on the entire disc that is really usable, just a bunch of ho-hum stuff.

I found my replacement bolts at Lowes. Even had them in stainless.

A year or so back there was a member here who did sell stainless screw sets for the stock carb; I believe it included the 4 top and 4 bottom screws and only charged $5  for it, incl shp.  He worked at a place that made bolts and machine screws if my memory is correct, and got the stuff at their cost which was way low.  I had his name and address around for quite a while but have lost track of it.

I have considered adding the screws to the JETSET, but would need to find them at a really good price to do it.  The prices at Lowe's and the local hardware are prohibitive.

Just to incase anyone is curious of what happened here's an update.

I contacted him to tell him that it didn't fit...etc, and he said that if I send it to him then he will send me another one.  I'm not really sure what that means since I told him the size I needed and he said that there weren't any larger ones.  Did he magically come up with one?

Anyway, I finally got some time to go to the post office and sent it out.  I did that on July 31st.  I check the delivery confirmation and it was delivered 2 days later (Aug 2nd).

As i'm sure many of you have guessed, but it's been 2 weeks since and not even so much as an email even after I sent a couple "friendly reminders".  What a douche.  I'm glad it wasn't on a more expensive part.

I hope this thread teaches others not to bother with this guy.

Is this the guy that says "WHAT A LIAR!" anytime somebody leaves a negative comment?  It's possibly the same guy I got my DynaMuffler from.  It seems like he sat on it for a week before shipping it, and then it didn't come with the brass sleeve that was mentioned in the eBay ad.  The directions were OK and advised cutting aluminum strips from soda cans.
