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.

Hi guys, Im about to strip down the VM carbs on my GS1000s and have a query? You guys seem to use a carb dip overnight to soak the bodies? Not sure if we can get that in the UK? If I strip the carbs right down will it be enough without dipping them? cheers, steve:)

Thought about getting one because I rebuild pocket watches too and could use it for that too. Might look for a second hand one. Cheers
 
From what I can see it's much better than any dip. I throw anything and everything in.

Even something that looks spotless, even something freshly dipped. Throw it in the tank and the water turns nasty. All that dirt came from somewhere.

I use GUNK green as a dip for really dirty carbs but most of the time the U/S cleaner is all that is needed
 
Thanks guys. Got a used one on its way so hopefully it'll do the job.
