Yes, I suppose as the final clean up get underway some carb or brake cleaner would help even further. I will store that tip in the good ideas file of my mind!!!MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

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.

wow
its really cleaning up well. just stuck it in some vinegar and its flaking off in chunks. granted ive never used it before so ive no frame of reference but the speed and ease its coming off with makes me think sedelen was correct with his guess about this piece acting as the anode.
measured resistance, got a range of about 45-265 iirc. seems like its working
after 2 hours

Just keep checking the outer case with a tooth brush from time to time till it gets it clean...i wiould guess a full 24 hrs MINIMUM by the way it looks.
Then bend those 3 little tabs that hold the cover on and clean everything inside.
You can plug the unit in to the wiring harness outside the tank and move the arm to see if the guage works.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
