CB550F Carbs
Norniron:
I ultrasonically cleaned my carbs twice and it still didnt clean those tubes.(just my tuppence worth)
Hey oldiron im in armagh tomorrow if u r stuck.
Oldiron550:
I'm in Antrim most of the the day (work place) won't be home until six. I'm not beat on this one yet, just a little blind on the task ahead. That can be a good-thing sometimes!
matthewmosse:
According to a mate of mine in the trade who has an ultrasonic cleaner, the brand oof cleaning fluid used has a major influence on how well ultra sonic cleaners work. I have a small Lidl cleaner and it can help clean a fair ammount of crud off a carb but needs help from a toothbrush, though it's only been subjected to briggs and strat carbs that were suffering from a decade of water damage so far, but it did get them servicable with No new parts needed.
LesterPiglet:
No matter how you clean your carbs it would be stupid to put them back on without checking every orifice.
Oldiron550:
First part of the cleaning process finished, as Les said "check every orifice" before a start my rebuild. I'll need all the help I can get!!
Will be very satisfying to hear the CB fire up after nearly 15 off the road.
