Anyone local to MD that could either give me a hand, or I could pay to tune up my 1997 Valk?  I would love to take the time to do it on my own, but because of work, I just don't have time.  More than happy to answer any questions.  Not holding my breath here, but figured it was worth a shot.  I generally do my own work, but because of a lack of time can't, plus the dealers are backed up a good 7 days (and they'll gouge me I'm sure $$$)  Thanks!

Well actually what I need is vacuum lines replaced and maybe a carb adjustment.  I just said "tune up in lieu of going into a detailed explanation.

    Here is a tip for you.
  Get four new vaccume plugs and snip
off the very end of the other vacumme
lines. That should help you till you can get some help.
  Is your bike idle smooth at 900 RPM?
    You should be able to change 6 plugs in 20 min.
