Nessism-Did you use their "Plug N' Plate? Brush Plating System
with the little wand thingy? Did you take the linkage apart or clean it and do it as is? That is such a professional touch to carb rebuilding! I love it! I'm doing a total restoration and think I have to do something like that!

damn you guys! quit showing me shiny things that i can do to my bike! i've got enough of a work load already ><
Using the Copy Cad/Zinc plating kit with "brightener" to makes it shinny. To clean corrosion I bead blast followed by buffing with a fine grade wire wheel. I think the durability of the zinc should be good but the yellow chromate after-dip is a little fragile.

I have to say this thread really
inspired me. so after looking at all these nice carbs I decided to do something with my old carbs. One of the few things I have not changed on my bike. So I went down in my workshop and moddified the covers on the top of my carbs. I know this was no paint job but as I said this thread inspired me. I just removed the outher covers of the carbs and did this facemilled and then engraved. And some polishing and back again. I think it was kind of cool detail.

Very cool! That would be hard to see, on my bike, but done on the two outer carb bowls, it would rock.

Yes I only did it on the two outher carbs. I think its kind of cool to make parts like this. They don't scream against you. It's a detail that only will be discovered by people that study the bike.

Here's a bit of an update on my buddy Bruce's handywork. These re-built, polished and painted black beauties look awesome on my bike. Thanks Bruce.
Don't look at the rest of the bike please. She's FILTHY! I'm so ashamed of myself.
I will suffer a self-imposed banishment to the garage until I get every inch of her spit shined!
Thanks Bruce.

Nice job Bruce, as always. They look as beautiful as my little red fireplugs!
How did you set these up? I'll be curious to hear how they perform in the Texas heat!

Carburator Questions
Carburator Questions
Hi everyone, Just wanted to sat that those carbs look great.
I just got my bike a week ago and am brand new to the site. Those carbs look so good that since i had to clean mine and to a mini rebuild I decided to clean and polish my carb too. (hope no one dogs me for copying you) Really it inspired me to do it.
I have run into two problems though, one being that I am having trouble polishing around the lettering. Any suggestions?
Second is what i think might be major....... I have a 1980 GS 750 with the carbs that have the four screws on top. (photo below) and they have the retainer clip that holds the fuel inlet needle down into valve seat,..... Well.... when taking apart the second carb (not the first) it sprung off and flew somewhere into a black hole on my porch.
I searched for an hour and a half and did not find it. My questions is this, Do it need it? Or is it better to not have it so more fuel gets in. if i do need it I'm screwed so does anyone have one i could buy from them or know where i can get it?
I feel like sucha newbe when really I'm kinda seasoned. Is there anyone who could give me some advise?
