I've spent 3 weeks badgering the PO for those.  They are now safely in my possession and ready for a good clean!

Indeed I did.  All parts seem to be there.  I can't say I wasn't worried.  Now all I still need to get from him is the original rear spoked wheel.

They will clean up nicely in a ultrasonic cleaner.

I have access to an small ultrasonic cleaning tank at work.  Any suggestions as to what type of cleaning fluid I should use to get these clean?

Are you paying for the bike in installments as well ?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a 'how to' for removing individual carbs from the assembly?  There looks to be more than just screws and bolts involved so figure I should do some homework.

You should of taken the tubes out before you put them in the tank. Why would you want to take the bank apart??
