    Got the call from my mechanic. In addition to water in the gas,he also found sand,dirt and small plastic particles......what the heck?
    He also said the carb was so clogged up, it was barely dripping any gas, so it has to be professionaly cleaned and restored.
    That cleaning almost cost as much as a new carburator, which makes me wonder if I should just go ahead and get a new carb and possibly go smaller , like a 600...
    What do you think?
