Default Carb tune-up

Okay, I've only been on this forum for a few months and I keep reading about Lars and how people have had carb work done by him. What does he charge? Do you actually send him the carb or does he just advise you what to do? I have a 79 L48 and could use some additional pick-up. I figure being it's all put away for the winter, it would be a great time to send it off and have it looked at. From what I've read, Lars is as good as you'll find when it comes to the old fasion carb tune-up!

Adjusting your ignition timing is a good, non-invasive way to get more get up 'n go.
