very slow progress on the bike, the carbs are very complicated and time is short for me at the moment. I have bought an ultrasonic cleaner to clean them, any tips on using it?

Get some ultrasonic cleaning fluid specifically for alloy from Allendale Electronics on eBay

well some progress made, carbs cleaned and rebuilt, timing belts renewed and radiator removed for better access. New battery now fitted, but electrics have been tampered with so a bit of work needed, I have the engine turning over and a spark, will change oil etc before attempting to start the beast. meanwhile I have been looking at the brakes, calipers have been cleaned and rebuilt with new pistons and seals, master cylinder needs full overhaul so plenty still to do.
Bryanj:
Its worth getting the rad flow tested as they can sludge up in coolant mixed with tap water has been used
mickwinf:
will do Bryan, when I drained the rad the coolant looked very clean blue colour indicates antifreeze was used so hopeful it will be ok
