Cb500 four carb re-build

(1/2) > >>

Noelia:
Last night I've started dismantling the carbs, everything is out now, but I can't get them clean at all, I've soaked everything in cabs cleaner and then used a brush to help. But there is still rust or corrosion I don't know what's that stuck on the walls.

Any tips?

I had a few stationary engine carbs like that and found a bit of washing up liquid and a sonic cleaning bath, mine was £30 or so at Lidl, so not anything fancy or expensive was enough with a toothbrush to scrub afterwards had the carb sufficiently cleaned to do its job. I had the sonic cleaning bat running for a whole afternoon mind, just for 1 carb, you have 4. Probably worth getting someone with better sonic cleaning baths than the cheap ones.

Noelia:
What if i take them for professional cleaning? How much could it cost?

I think when my mate was offering this service he was asking £10 per carb, but that was a while back.
