I have a Honda 90 four stroke needs the carbs replaced. How many hours of labor for a shop/mechanic to replace four carbs (billable hours labor)?
Also, I understand that, since ethanol became common, this has been a frequent problem for Hondas that sit for as few as two weeks without use. This winter I used fuel stabilizer. I also winterized by disconnecting the fuel line while running the engine.
Evidently not good enough. A mechanic now tells me I need to drain each carb if it’ll sit for any time at all or I’ll be looking at a rebuild at the very least. Thoughts or comments on that?
Frankly a rebuild sounds great to me at the moment.
Why do the carbs need to be replaced? It’s common for carbs to become fouled while sitting for an extended time with gasoline in them, but it is very uncommon for them to be ruined. What’s up with yours?
