Good luck with the project Phil.  I see in one of the photos you have a bottle of fizz on the garage floor available for when things start to get annoying?

 Excellent planning mate! 

Sesman:
That was the second bottle.... ;)

Yes, a US import with Title deeds.

Carbs are indeed going to be tough. I can’t extract any of the jets or float pins. The set is currently resting nicely in a bath of carb cleaner.

Do yourself a favour - get a 5L can of pure acetone from one of the many suppliers on eBay. That used with a stiff paint brush will def help get rid of the gunge. It’s the only thing I’ve found that will effectively shift it. You can also soak the float bowls in it...
