pics and progress














Yum. This was the best looking bowl out of them all.



I got the mangled remains of the mixture screw out with an "Easy Out" and stripped the carbs down the rest of the way. I have a new screw coming along with a few other bits. I'll be replacing all the soft screws with allen screws. I plan on doing a few more cleaning cycles then it will be time for reassembly.

In case you did not know, DO NOT GET CARB CLEANER ON YOUR VACUUM DIAPHRAGMS!

Hmmm...I did not know that.

Uh oh. They seem to be in good shape and still pliable.

I use Honda's silicone spray on my diaphrams when I have them out of the carbs, actually on all the little rubber pieces, keeps 'em nice and plyable. The carbs are looking nice and clean now, nice job.

Cool, I'll give the silicone spray a try. Those pics are after just a quick spray w/carb cleaner. I need to get a few more cans and do a detailed job with some compressed air.
