7500 mile desmo service

I have passed 7500 miles on my 2015 Ducati scrambler 800 full throttle and the desmo service indicator has shown up. I’m just looking for some advice and previous experiences from other riders. What was the price for your desmo service and did they or did they not touch the shims? I live in NJ and there is a decent amount of shops in the tri state area. What are the opinions on going to a Ducati dealer vs not? I did buy this bike with about 5-6k miles and did not ask the previous owner if it was desmo serviced so I am going to get in contact with him but most likely it was not.

EGR for 2015 Outback

About a week ago I attempted to fix my Christmas lights dashboard all due to an EGR code P0400. We have replaced the EGR sensor. We now have cleaned the EGR system twice. The valve/spring works in it. We also went ahead and cleaned the throttle body and the upper EGR pipe that connects to the intake. We cleaned just about every easy accessible part with carbon we saw. To be honest I did think this would be it and fix the issue but it has not. We put everything back and the car still can barely hold and idle and stalls. We checked the codes again and still have P0400 along with another code P0107 for a map sensor. I’m asking for any help or suggestions at all. We have cleaned what we thought was everything connected to the EGR so I have no idea how it could still be bad. Is there another sensor down the line somewhere that we don’t know about? Is there something else we can check or clean? I really don’t know why the map sensor is showing up. It feels we’ve done everything within the EGR system and we are lost. I also will include the code report at the end of the photos. Anything helps.

Flooding engine

Homelite versatool or whatever. Found for trash. Did usual, cleaned carb, new fuel lines and cleaned tank. Every time I tried to start it would completely flood the cylinder and plug within 2 pulls. Even with the plug out it is spraying an abundance of fuel out. I changed the carb, I changed the diaphragm, I’ve cleaned the carb multiple times and nothing has fixed it. I even have both H and L screws all the way turned right tight to see if it would control the fuel spray but nothing. I have zero clue what could be causing this. Anything helps.

EGR Valve/Sensor cleaning

2015 Subaru Outback 2.5 190k miles. For a long time now we have had many lights on the dash. This car has been dealer maintained for its entire life. It was said to be the EGR valve as it can affect a lot it codes. Dealer had the EGR valve or sensor replaced about a year ago. Barely lasted anytime before all the lights came back on. A few days ago we fully cleaned the EGR valve and sensor ourselves. We took the entire system off, cleaned as much carbon out as possible and even vacuumed as much as we could through the pipes. Put it back on and the lights were gone for a tiny bit but then came back on the next day. We have tried a lot of things and we seem to be stuck. We read the codes with our scanner and like many online it is simply P0400 shown in the last photo. We are asking for any advice. Is there another sensor we should be cleaning? Is there an additive that could possibly help clean it internally? We dont want to spend loads of money having someone do a full carbon clean. Is this something that you simply can’t avoid at this cars mileage? Anything helps.

Trimmer flooding

Home lite Versatool. Picked up from side of road. I fully cleaned the carb, gas tank and replaced fuel lines. Had great spark. Put everything back together and wouldn’t fire up. Checked the spark and it was flooded. After cleaning it off and spraying the cylinder with compressed air it would keep flooding. I tightened both L and H screws all the way right to close them and it’s still just pulling so much fuel. How could it be doing this? My lines should be set up correctly. The one going to the top portion of the carb near the primer bulb is stuck in about an inch. I’m completely lost. Anything helps.

Bogs when given gas

Craftsman WS2200. Just cleaned the carb fully. It would not idle and barely could start on choke. Now starts great and idles but bogs when given gas. Fuel filter seems clean. Any help is appreciated.

Oil drain plug stripped

Went to begin my first oil change for my 2015 Ducati Scrambler 800 Full Throttle only to be immediately stopped by a stripped oil drain plug from previous owner. I am attempting to go to a dealer but some are far. There are some oil drain plugs on eBay that seem to fit with good reviews. Has anyone ever replaced there’s with an eBay one? Also any tips on the cleanest way to remove this stripped plug? Anything helps.
