There very good ..but get a quote of them 1st as a lot of the parts are £££....

Dept on what problem you have with the cabs.....?

As a simple strip and ultra sonic clean will cost a lot less.....guy on OSS does it

Hi I've spoken to mcmental off OSS but I'd like them sorting out as I've been having an issue that seems to be fuel related. It runs fine til I rev it hard then it splutters and seems to drop onto 3 cylinders as if it's running out of fuel. I've done the float heights got a high flow tap etc. dyna ignition and coils fitted valve clearance and compression ok so I'm looking to take the carbs out of the equation.

I agree with the Ultrasonic route myself. Do that first and see if the situation improves. From experience, I have VM33 smoothies, i can tell you parts are very expensive. Possibly even think about some Dyno time as well once you happy they are sorted, just to make sure the fuelling is exactly where it should be. :D
