    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...

    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.

home made ultra sonic cleaner

Okay, my $.02 worth. For carb and brake parts cleaning I made my version of a redneck ultrasonic cleaner. I have a 1.5L commercial cleaner and this homemade version works better in multiples. I've included a picture and have a video of it working.

I went to my local mexican restaurant on salsa making Monday and got a 6-quart tin can. I ratchet-strapped a $10 HFT orbital sander to the side, cut a piece of rubber to keep the parts from bouncing around inside the bottom of the can, add a pint or so of Purple Power degreaser (or use whatever you like), filled to near the top with boiling water and turn her on for an hour. I'll put the small parts like jets in a small cup at the bottom and set the whole setup on a piece of carpet so it doesn't walk all over the garage floor.

I've also used a rubber tub to clean all four carbs without taking the rack apart or bigger parts but the action in the can works the best because the rubber tub absorbs some of the vibration.
this not my idea i copied and paste from the kat rider forum

Excellent...

I could see it working well on some things, but do you really think it works better on the internal passageways inside the carburetor body?

Doesn't an hour in the purple power discolor the carb bodies?

I like the idea, might try it alongside the ultrasonic one next time.
 
i am using berrymans, the guy who came up with this idea suggested purple cleaner.
