  1. I don't know if they got a little greedy ,I would think that they could have repair your trailer for around $1,200 ,and I'm sure you would've like that much better ,I'd rebuild my trailer my self with about $1,200 but that was 2 x 3500# torsion suspension axle no brakes ,new hubs all aluminum cross members and stainless hardware that was a couple of years a go but when I was done my trailer was the same as a $4,000 one from the factory .I guess they lost the deal on this repair or sale ,as my dealer did with my trailer ,he quoted me a little too much in order to try to sell a new trailer and at the end he encouraged me to do the rebuild ,and I'm sure that my work is a lot better than theirs,if you don't thing so ask the customer.
  2. thill I agree with Ludicrous, if the initial problem happened out of the blue and you went and adjusted the fuel mix ,what in my opinion you should have done was to rebuild the carbs ,I too have a carburator motor and runs perfectly fine, but every once in a long while ,I do rebuild the carbs ,to be exact three times in ten years ,also a friend of mine with a Yamaha 150 hp carb did lose some speed at top end, but other wise was running fine, he rebuild the carbs and there was the lost rpm ,I know this has nothing to do with your problem, but if you din't touch the motor and the rpm was lower ,I think you should have rebuild instead of adjusting the idle ,I won't get a mechanic if you have the manual, is not that hard and you probably do a better job, I saw a mechanic rebuilding a set of carbs and the only thing he used from the kit was the gaskets ,he said that all he had to do is clean the parts ,witch is true ,but if the customer paid for the hole kid replace everything ,thats why I do it my self.
  3. Now that was funny and at the same time a very smart post
