And believe them when the warning says it can soak into the skin and make you sick...it happened to me and i was almost ready to cut my head off to stop the headache. was like that for over 6 hrs. Now I will not get a drop on my hands. Now I use hemos or pliers to get the bodies out of the can and then to the bucket to be rinsed.

Rubber gloves would be the best of all worlds though.

Why are you guys insisting on the weak chem-dip? This is the dip you need to be buying:


It's the original professional formula and you can buy it here: O'reilly's auto parts

Doesn't come in the bucket but I just pour it into a new, unused, paint can for use.

[chuck hahn]

Well...seeing that the can CLEARLY use the word "REPLENISHER" I would have to say its just a REFILL for the ORIGINAL STUFF in the gallon can. I fail to see your point.

[JTGS850GL]

Let me see if I can CLERIFY. The point is, it's not the same Chem-Dip that you get in the gallon bucket at Wally World. It's the refill (Part Number 901) for the P/N 905 professional formula. It even says on the can that you can't mix it with the 996 Chem-Dip. The 905 formula is the "OLD" Berryman's that everyone has been saying is no longer available. It comes in a 5 gallon drum. The 901 "replenishment gallon can is used to top up a cleaning vat that's had evaporation loss. The 901/905 formula works much faster and better then the 996 that is commonly sold at most parts stores. It smells like liquid moth balls.

Edit: You can buy it at Wally World, but if you look at the link that Steve posted it's not the $18 gallon can but one of the other Berryman's options at the top of the screen that sells for $186 and comes in the 5 gallon bucket. I don't see the 1 gallon replenishment can (P/N 901) available through Walmart. See here: Berryman's Chem-Dip Professional from Wallmart

Or you can use an ultrasonic cleaner and smell like roses.

[JTGS850GL]

Or you can do as I do and use both. The Chem-Dip will soften and liquefy the resins but the sonic cleaner, with the proper cleaning solution, will remove the scale buildup.

The Chem-Dip will soften and liquefy the resins but the sonic cleaner, with the proper cleaning solution, will remove the scale buildup.

I have considered getting an ultrasonic cleaner.

I have seen several different formulae that were suggested.

What do you consider to be "the proper cleaning solution"?

[JTGS850GL]

There are a number of commercially available solutions, but the one that I've used with great success is the Simple Green Pro HD. I've only found it available through Home Depot and it's purple, not green. I use it straight and it does an excellent job without dulling the aluminum parts.

Really, one of the concerns that's overlooked when using a sonic cleaner is the density of the fluid. You just don't want a fluid that's too thick or you wont get adequate cavitation. Of course you don't want to use anything that's flammable either.

Edit: Just to add to this, you want to consider what you're trying to clean and what contaminant is being removed. I use the HD Pro because it is designed to not damage metal and is also designed to be a degreaser. Both are applicable in the case of cleaning carbs.

[motokid837]

Okay, so I disassemble the carbs 100% and follow the guide on BikeCliffs website. I soak all 4 carbs as instructed. Will I then need to sync all of the carbs again? That is the only part that scares me.

[chuck hahn]

anytime you take them apart you shoulkd go thru all the resyncing proceedures

[JTGS850GL]

Yes, you'll need to do a bench sync and then a vacuum sync. The bench sync will probably be close but the vacuum sync is a must. Don't be too concerned with doing the vacuum sync. If you have the right tool it's really a no brainer. I do recommend picking up the MotionPro adjustment tool. It makes doing the adjustment a simple process. What sync gauge set to use is up to you but I do have a Morgan Carbtune and it does work great. It's a little pricier then some but I felt it was a good investment and it's a breeze to use. You should pick up a set of brass vacuum adaptors as the ones that come with the Carbtune are junk. They do sell the brass adaptors separately.

If you manage to survive the carb dip (and this thread), the carb sync (first bench sync, then see link below) will be easy!
