What's the difficulty ( 1 to 10) in rebuilding the carbs on my 96 780 SLX. I've rebuilt quadrajets when I was younger, never tackled watercraft or motorcycyle carbs. Rating 1 as easy , 10 as difficult. Also, where should I buy my rebuild kits if I try myself.

I'd give a Quadrajet a 6 rating a Holley a 5 and your carb a 1.5 they are cake!! just get a pop off tester so you can dial it in correctly! Z

Yes they are easy to rebuild. Best advice is to have a manual impact wrench handy. It is far worse to remove the carb rack than the rebuilding.
