    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

After soaking in the Chemdip, scrubbing with various brushes and a lot of spray carb cleaner.. and finally a round
or 4 in the Ultrasonic cleaner, the carb bodys and parts look great.

Everyone should consider getting one of these. Unreal how is cleans. Harbor freight has them for dirt cheap... like $60.
I used a cleaning powder you mix into water call Alconox. Amazing!

Oooh, nice results with that ultrasonic cleaner. Would love to see that 1100 too. Any chance I could dip my valve cover and case covers in that machine? :pray:

Sadly, I just don't think it's big enough for those parts. Here is another picture for reference.

You are welcome to come see the crusty old pile and put anything that will fit in the ultrasonic cleaner. PM me. It seems to do only an OK job on rust after a few passes. It kicked the sh!t out of the grime on screws, springs, brackets and the carb bodys, caps and float bowls though. I will be ultrasonic cleaning parts that fit as often as I need to. Best $60 I spent in a long time. Shower heads, soap dishes, Jewelry... man.. anything I can think to put in there is going.
 
moto,

Did you have to drill this plug out to get to the 'air screw' ???

-R
 
Thank you x4.

Nice of them to provide the pilot hole.......

And rememeber the drilling is only to open that hole a smidge for purposes of screwing a screw in there and pullin the plug out, not trying to use a drill only..
