Expertise
Any Honda repairs, I've pretty much done it all. If I haven't seen it or can't give a specific answer I have another resource i can go to for some help. I'm sorry to say though that I would be little help on carbs. I'm 28 and they are just before my time to have any real experience on them.
Experience
Worked at a Honda specialty shop for ~5 years now.
Been an enthusiast for twice that on my own cars and a project track car.
