    Daryl, How does this product work on the carb body itself?

    These ones are a bit corroded and dull and we are looking to brighten them up a bit.

    Still looking for a parts fiche, the carb model is 13201-44230, any help would be appreciated.

      Never tried it on the carb bodies, I glass bead then sonic clean my bodies, then physically clean then sonic clean again.

      It will make the brass parts look like new again!

      Cheers

      I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

        What solvent do you use in ultrasonic bath for carb bodies?

          I use this stuff http://www.brulin.com/productdetails...pid=118&cid=48 , I work in the aviation trade so you might have a hard time getting it, but maybe not. It has quite a few approvals and used properly corrosion is not an issue.
