[Ducati] 900SS - Wits End

[Alec Moss]

Thanks.  I'm new to the carb issue having recently acquired a 97 sssp.

Wasn't sure about the spelling and had it right before changing it.

Is it worth the change if the stock carbs are fine or are the stock carbs
perfectly ok until they go south.  Asking strictly from a reliability and
functionality point of view, not a performance angle.
