cv boots

[duper850]

My cv boots in my carbs are sticky. What can I safely clean them with.
I need the deep clean but please..not now. Bikes runnng dispite me!

Also did the tank clean with vinager, it left a black film all over tank.
Dam it!!

I've used acids before with no problem but trying to be green.

What are you calling "CV boots"?

Do you mean the diaphragms at the top of the carb? Just wipe them down with a damp rag.

Stickiness of the diaphragms should not really affect anything, though. If the slides are sticking, it's because the slides are dirty, not the diaphragms. You can pull them out without pulling the carbs to give them a quick spray and wipe-down with carb cleaner, then put them back in. Just be sure to align the index mark on the diaphragm when you put it back in.
