My experience: Subject: 1986 Honda ATC 200X 3 wheeler shipped from San Diego, CA to Corbin ,KY Weight: about 300 pounds Terms: I drop off at their yard and person on other end picks up at yard, otherwise $75 - $100 more per end. They crate up the bike. Delivery time: 4-6 weeks (It took 5) Insurance: Full replacement value included Cost: $485.00 Your cost and mileage may vary. I got their name from a Mayflower trucking/moving company. If you live in the San Diego area I can get you their name and number if you want...can't remember it right now.

Price obviously depends on distance. If you're trying to ship within the continental US, I would keep hunting til you find something under $500. I did a search recently and found this link http://www.micapeak.com/mc/addrs/ashipping.html I thought I got the shipper I used off of this list but I just looked and didn't see it. I ended up using these guys http://www.brunolake.com/moto.htm Shipped a KTM 640 LC4 from Denver, CO to Brooklyn, NY for $500.36 including insurance ($5000 coverage with $100 deductible). They estimated a week to 10 days. I had the buyer drop it at their warehouse in Denver and they will bring it to my door (I used the business address of the Deli/Bodega that I live above...true residential p/u and drop off is $65 add'l on each end). I'll let you know how long it really takes and if there was any damage. This is uncrated shipping and all you have to do is drain the gas. Crated shipping really reduces the cost but the guy I bought from wasn't willing to crate it. The shipper I used is an agent for Allied van Lines. Other quotes were as high as $800 and shippingmasters.com quoted just under $500 but needed 2-4 weeks for delivery and insurance was an additional $6.50 per $1000 value. dat brooklyn bum p.s. this is all current info (the bike should have shipped out this weekend!)> > shipper?

I found the opposite to be true in my experience. The diaphragm is only a bitch to seat when the ambient temperature is less than 75-80F. I've been in the carb many times over a one year period when I was originally experimenting with my dynojet kit and exhaust configuration. In the summer months, the diaphragm maintained the shape of the groove, but in the winter, it wanted to spread wider than the groove. On those occasions, I would use a blunt plastic probe to nudge the lip back under the cover. Mark B2 A2 A3>The carb diaphragm can be a major bitch to reseat.
