If you're a DIY type of person, then you probably already know two things. Very likely, you know the struggle of getting something to work the way that you want. Hopefully, you also know the sweet satisfaction when it does exactly what you planned.
How quickly and/or easily you're able to overcome the struggle-laden part of this particular dance depends on several factors, not the least of which is the complexity of your project. Rebuilding a single carburetor is one thing, but rebuilding and syncing carbs on a flat 12 seems infinitely more headache-inducing. I digress.
