    1982 gs850l carb dip

    I pulled the carbs off my bike and am getting ready to do a cleaning and rebuild. I was wondering what you're guys' recommendation is for a carb dip to get the carbs nice and clean. Also where to get it. I live in Illinois if that helps because I know you can't find in some states.

      You can buy a version of Berrymans at Wal*mart I think.
      I have used it with some success...But I still prefer my ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight and Simple Green diluted with water.
      Most of the carbs I have done showed remarkable success this way without any discoloration (potentially from the Berrymans).
      After a good U/S cleaning I blow them out with WD40 to remove water and a compressed air dry.
      Poke a few holes clean with tiny wires and you are in business

        Berrymans Professional is part # 0901.. its a square metal 1 gallon can and you will only find it at an old fashioned parts store NOT autozone or advance etc.. try an old mom and pop auto parts store. Compared to the 'regular' berrymans it works MUCH better..
        If you can't find that, you can get the 5 gallon but its $140 and is part #0905.
        The "regular" stuff seen in walmart etc is part #0996 and works but not too good anymore IMHO

          I looked up those ultra sonic cleaners and they look pretty reasonable. What size cleaner works best you think?

            Mine is a 300W one If I remember correctly, BUT it has a COMBINED(WATCH OUT HERE) wattage of 300
            the ultrasonic part is 150W and the HEATER is 150W.. kind of misleading. Id much rather have one that's 300 Watts ultrasonic only with no heater lol.
            You need more than 200 watts ultrasonic in my opinion for much of anything but more of a concern is the SIZE of the tank.
            Make sure you find one that measures deep enough etc for at least one carb body!!!! mine takes one carb body easily and I can flip it 4 times to really get into the passageways.
