You might be able to get away with just dipping those. : DAMN your carbs look nasty! but hey thats just my opinion. haha

If you can find a carb shop that has a ultrasonic carb cleaner you could have them cleaned almost like new

I think those need more than o-rings, Robert! Maybe an exorcisim will help!

If I were you, I would order some hydrochloric acid.



might not be much left, but it would be sparkling!!

So what I dont understand is how you, of all people, let your carbs get in that condition. Surely, performance and gas milage was some indication the carbs needed servicing.?

Eeek. 8O

I haven't seen a mess like that since my bro-in-law gave me that riding mower that had been "sitting for awhile"... :roll:

[Katamaniac]

Are you sure there are no barnicles in there somewhere. 8O 8O 8O

I picked up a set of carbs out of a salvage shop that were seized and didn't look half that bad.

[EZ OUT]

I think that would classify as an archeological find.

by the way Robert -- got the o'rings and did my carbs this week with the help of the great carb series on this site. They look freshly minted. I hope they work as good as they look 8)

It would be great if we had the stator series like that - with pictures.

I never would have attempted the carb cleanout without the help on this site. Thanks to you all!=D>

Well, there wasn't any performance or gas mileage to speak of, so it wasn't much of an indicator. :twisted:

Wow, you have some nice paperweights there

[snakebite]

bet the tank is a mess too.
gotta take care of it too or you are wasting time.
i was given a ct70 honda that the fuel had turned to black chewing gum.
they said it had a full tank when it was parked 20 years ago after a close call scared them.
took a bit of work to clean everything out.
i just picked up a free gs1100 shafty free.
i will post the carb pic too.
it was declared dead 15 years ago for no charging and had a silly repair bill on it.fingers crossed but ohmeter tests on the stater ok.

[first timer]

why did you poop in your gas tank? thats what i would stick with especailly from a guy that deals in carb parts....
