I have a stock carb on a 440ex and can't afford to replace it right now. Does anyone know a good place to have it bored with a fast turnaround.

first of all, a good shop w/ a fast turn around is gonna charge decent money...thats why they work so good and fast...

ever hear the saying, save the money for the right tool before you waste money on a half *** one?

u dont need the carb RIGHT NOW if you cant afford it

just wait a bit and get a used 450r carb for $100

What I was getting at is that I just got a 440 and it has a stock carb. I had a stock carb bored out by sparks on my previous 440 and I really liked it. I am going to the dunes in a couple of weeks and would like to have a little bigger carb but don't want to shell out $500 for an fcr and I know sparks is out of the question for quick turnaround I was hoping for some good advice on another shop. It is a moot point anyway because I just bought a 450r carb. Thanks for your 2 cents though.
