I sent Motorcyclecarbs.com a backup set of Virago carbs in May. They said it would take about 5 weeks and the cost would be $350. After 3 months I had heard nothing and they finally returned my call. They said they needed and additional $150 for parts. Four more months and numerous phone calls later I get the carbs back.
I install the carbs and one cylinder will not fire on choke. The idle mixture screws have no effect. I call Mr. Reil and he says to ride the bike and see how it runs. It is winter in massachusetts, so I wait till spring and try riding the bike. Cylinder still won't run on choke. Call mr. Reil and he says warranty is 45 days only.
I sent my original carbs to classiccarbsandmore.com. I received them back in 2 weeks and the bike runs flawlessly. Night and day, my friends
I will now sent the supposedly "rebuilt" carbs to Mike to be RE rebuilt.
I know that Mr. Reil has had some employee and personal problems but this is not right. He actually seems like a decent guy but BUYER BEWARE.
