Carb cleaner/dip

[pete]

Try a Yamaha dealer for Yamalube carb dip.

Used that on mine (no Berrymans style dip over here either) in a ratio of 2:1 carb solution to water.

As per a tip from Suzuki_Don, I boiled them in the solution for about 30 minutes, just a rolling boil not a violent boil.

Be careful if you do it this way, the stuff absolutely stinks. I did it in the garage which is downstairs and the smell went up into and through the whole house... my wife was not impressed...

I used Berryman's and am thoroughly unimpressed. Left more than one carb in for up to 72 hours and still dirty enough to use tooth, small wire brush in bowls, Q tips etc. next go around will try Pine-sol.

I used pinesol in a crock pot on low, cleaned pretty well, but turned body darker. terrylee

I used Pine-Sol on my carbs.Did a spray cleaner job at the time I got it.Did a http://www.cycleorings.com/ kit at the same time.
This is how they looked before I did anything

And after the spray can job,

They worked OK but I knew they could be better,

Took them completely apart an put them in a 4to1 solution of Pine Sol


Added some personal touches after

This it the first I've heard of using Pine Sol. I wish I would have heard this a couple days ago. Oh well, the third carb is currently soaking, completely disassembled, in Berryman's. Only one more to go. Berryman's works pretty good as far as my experience shows. Just be sure to rinse it off with water after the soak.

Hey Greg did you use nail polish? I kind of like that idea, and have been wanting to make my carbs stand out a bit.

How about the pinesol, did you dip the carbs as a full rack with all rubber parts intact?

[SVSooke]

Used Metalcsast.Really to fragile for this.It's all chipped from putting them in and out.I tore them completely down and no rubber went in.

if you dont want to pay out for an ultrasonic cleaner, buy some Mistral US carb cleaner and put them in a saucepan on the hob, low heat and let it bubble for about 1/2 hour, each carb. just remove all o rings and grommets etc
