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 looks awesome.
Personally I would have removed the moving and adjustable bits, then reassembled. Probably the tops and bowls separately too. But that was a nasty carb.
So what did ya use?
This is the third set I have done. I like all the parts blacked out. After dipping and replacing the o-rings (from Robert Barr) and re-assembly, I prime with self etching primer. No issues with adhesion on any parts so far. If you paint before assembling, you'll have to mask off all openings and it will be awkward IMO. I just mask off the air intake and exit and push a wad of paper towel into the fuel and vent holes.
I have seen some really nice carb work--nicely blasted bodies with painted tops and bowls or even polished parts. This is just my preference. The stock look is more satin I think but with the glossy finish they look really nice on the bikes.

Well, painting can be frustrating too but this single stage black goes on so well it gives the eye a lot of pleasure, don't you think? (From my recent acquisition--dipped and o-ringed)
Do you have a pic of the carb in the first pic after paint. It looks like two similar but different carbs in the two pics.
