Carb cleaning/tank lining job

[Guest]

I'm having to redo the kreem job on my gas tank which has been causing issues. I'm going to be doing the carbs with a friend at the same time. I hear there's a lot of controversy on cream. Should I use a different product like red coat. Also is there anything special I need when cleaning carbs. I'm also going to be cleaning out the fuel petcock I just need o rings for that right? Thanks in advance

I used Caswell's liner to cover a rusty tank. I followed their directions and haven't had any issues in the 2 years since.

I cant give super long term feedback but so far I am very happy with the kbs kit I bought. I think it was about $50 bucks and came with cleaner, rust remover and liner material. Took me a whole weekend to do but the inside looks amazing and it seems to be holding up well.

Here are my thoughts on the KBS

There are two PDF's links floating around that I cant seem to find the link to now that explain the carb cleaning step by step and its damn near idiot proof .. however I was a big enough idiot not to use the wire to poke through various passages the first time so I landed up doing it twice. If no one chimes in with the links I will upload the pdfs and you can download them there.

If you add your bike, year and model to your signature we could offer some answers.
Few people have had any luck with petcock rebuilds. Replacement might be a better option.

This stuff is the bomb! Have used it for two cars and a truck(60's) and no issues, but I only run recreational fuel after having the seals in the strombergs rot from ethanol gas. They sell motorcycle size portions also. Don't get lazy with the nuts and washer shaking to clean out before the metal prep.. Tape your whole tank before starting if the paint is being kept. I use plumbers pressure test bungs for the fill hole. Have used the KBS system also just like the POR 15 product better. http://www.por15.com/POR-15-Fuel-Tan...-Kit_p_62.html how to vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf2veir5VHU
