You call it vapour blasting.
Works great.

Vapour blasting is glass bead and water ;) ice blasting is dried ice ;D

That’s what I meant and we call it dried ice blasting here. Had that done to my old cars and that works good. Nothing left over, just water.

Got to say when I first read it that is exactly what I thought. Dirty boy ;D ;D ;)

Mr._Sheene, that's a nice looking Honda CB750! I am sure that you will enjoy it once it is sorted out. As far as the worst head known to man comment... well, practice makes perfect :o :o :o ... Just kidding! ::)
On another note, sometimes questions and instructions can be misinterpreted, as per my Space Quest IV game, where the hero Roger Wilco finds a hint book in a Space Mall software store... The question was, "My game came on 3.5" disks, but I have a 5.25" disk drive... how do I get a bigger disk?"
The answer read...
"First of all, don't be misled by ads depicting hormone injections, pumps, or enlargement tools... and, try to remember, it's not the size that counts! Oh... did you say, 'disk'?"

Mr Sheen, welcome to the forum.
Having read your thread I can recommend I-cleenz machinez in Penge, South East London. They do an excellent vapour blast clean job in house and they really are meticulous both being bikers themselves. As well as vapour blasting they also have a blasting booth big enough for frames.
I have no connection with the company but have used them when restoring my 400/4, Morini 350 and the CB250RSA. Vintage car engine restoration companies also use them, enough said! They are not cheap (£25 to vapour blast a single carb) but worth the money.
The father is called John and the Son is George, call them and tell them you heard about them through the forum and who knows, you might get a discount!
Mr_Sheene:
Thanks for the advice. I am collecting all the advice that I can get at the moment. Then it's engine out time. £25 a carb is a bit eye watering but if they clear all the muck it may be worth it. I only paid £150 for the carbs but they do need cleaning. The old vinegar and salt solution won't work on these.
