some small metric wrenches, screwdriver, cleaner, air and patience.
days....weeks? mechanics would starve. even not knowing what you're doing
shouldn't take more than 90 minutes per carb. syncing multis add 1 hour.

Probably not. Carburetor kits are something that you put into a car
carburetor
when the car has 150,000 miles on it. I've never needed a gasket on a
motorcycle carburetor.

disagree. if you tear it down, make it new again. reusing old parts often
causes failures.
