Bryanj:
Undo, clean, lubricate, tighten the female side and reconnect all bullets and spades using electrolytic grease or at least vaseline, cable outers use brake cleaner, preferably outside
Nurse Julie:
Cillit Bang limescale remover cleans the brass bullets and spades up really well. Then do what Bryan says.
Johnny4428:
I removed all the individual spade connectors from the plastic plug and cleaned up the terminals. There’s a little barb that prevents the connectors coming out that can be manipulated with a small home made tool. Might not have to go down that road if you use the above method.😜
Bryanj:
Cheap set of dental pics from tool stall at steam, or other, rally
Neilw:
I'm just preparing to tackle cleaning up my carbs. The outsides aren't too bad, and I quite like the patina on them, so I may well just give them a good clean and leave them at that.
I won't know what the insides are like until I open them up.
I don't have access to a special cleaner, so I was just going to use Carb Cleaner.
My question is: do I need to replace all the jets and parts you get in a rebuild kit, or will a good clean and replacement of the gaskets do?
