    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.

Carb cleaning problems

I am trying to clean a set of gsxr carbs. I have soaked them in my usual stuff, Gunk hydroseal. The metal and brass parts are coming out nice, but the carb bodies end up with a white powdery stuff on them after drying. The powdery stuff comes off on your finger when you wipe them.
I dont know what to try next. Anyone have this issue before?
 
Issues like that are the reason I stopped using dips & bought my ultrasonic cleaner. Ray.
 
Maybe scrub down the carb with a tooth brush and dish soap after the dip rinse process? Spray with WD-40 after that?
 
A little aluminum polish thinned down with some mineral spirits so it's not so pasty will work. Use Q-tips and small artists brushes to get down in the crevices. The soft metal the carbs are made out of polish up almost like chrome. Once you get started you'll get carried away.
 
I got the same thing on carbs I just rebuilt. Forget what brand of carb cleaner I was using.
