    Hmm, others are going to come on here with personal experience I'm sure, but I have seen a few examples of carbs looking rather, um, chalky after a vinegar dip...I don't have time to find the threads right now, but I'll do my best to find you some examples later.

      I saw a set that turned black from that.

          Wasn't that the one in the two gallon bucket? Someone posted a picture of it IIRC.

            Just make sure to spray them down with some WD-40 after to prevent flash rust and keep them nice.

              I believe the Yamaha stuff is concentrate that you add to water.

                I did a set of carbs on my old cx500 in vinegar. Seemed to work decent, not as good as carb dip, but not bad. It did make them look a little chalky, I just sprayed them with mag wheel cleaner and rinsed them quickly. Then sprayed them with wd-40 before I assembled.
