    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm not too proud to ask a stupid question, so here goes. After you "dip" the carbs and related parts, do you rinse with water or do you just blow them dry with compressed air? I was kinda concerned about things rusting if I used water.
 
I'd use air. Or just wipe them down. I don't figure a little carb cleaner is going to hurt much past the carbs.
 
if you use berrymans, they have a layer of water on top of the solvent to rinse as it comes out and to help keep the fumes down.
 
I will hit them hard with the water hose and then wipe with clean towel (paper) to remove excess water. Then a good blast of air to dry out passageways. I never liked the greasy residue that I get from the dip. The rebuilding always goes better with clean dry parts.
 
I don't dip em, I use carb cleaner then blow out with air, blow throught the jets so you can see light.
 
Instructions on the Berrymans can says to rinse with water. That's what I do followed by blowing dry.
 
Lesson learned by NOT rinsing with water...the residual dip in the jets, even AFTER blowing them out, turns to a nasty lil gel when it evaporates...that one took me back to the drawing board...
