The International CBX Owners Association

I have cleaned and "rebuild" several CBX carbs, but I do not consider myself a carb guru. I have used Mike Nixon's booklet as a work instruction. Now, here is an interesting ebay auction:

The guy calls himself the "only expert" in that field:

I'm the only person I know who's rebuilt/restored enough CBX carburetors to qualify as an expert.

and then he makes this statement:

The price listed is for all cosmetic work and basic rubber--gaskets, orings, etc. It does NOT include air cutoff or accelerator pump diaphragms. If we determine that those parts are necessary I'll adjust the final price accordingly. Cutoffs are 55 dollars for a set of 6

Can someone please explain to me, what he is talking about? Where are these 6 air cutoffs that he is charging $55.- for?

I figured it out...you have to send him six sets of carbs to get the special rate.

So, does anybody in the community know who this "expert" is?

He's an expert at something but its not CBX carbs.

"I use a powerful vacuum manifold that I designed to synchronize them on the bench so there's no guesswork there either. Just bolt them on and go. "

Really? Might work for that mythical engine that has all six cylinders pumping exactly the same. I would prefer to synch mine on the engine.

For that price, you can barely get the factory float valves, so you can be sure he is not using them. I don't know who he is, he might do great work, but I already have a question on what kind of parts are being used, and I *know* how much time I spend on a set, pretty close to 40 hours. I can't do it for that.
