there's a chance that the dip can soften, dissolve, or turn those 30+ year old bits of plastic super brittle. the only way to not ungang all 4 carbs is if you have an ultrasonic cleaner big enough to do all 4 all together at the same time.

I would argue that even with an ultrasonic cleaner you should still de-gang the carbs since flushing the debris out would be next to impossible without doing it. Come one guys, stop with short cuts. Do it right and be done with it. Other wise you're doomed to doing it again.
I both dip and ultrasonic clean disassembled gang when I do carbs.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
