[Spridgets] LMC no LBC

[Richard Ball]

It even used to happen to new bikes.  In the early '80's Suzuki used 
cosmoline to protect the carbs during shipping from Japan.  This coating 
would plug the jets on at least a quarter of the bikes we assembled right 
out of the crates.  We would have to pull the carbs and soak them in carb 
cleaner and reinstall.
