Quick question for you all, im looking at ultrasonic cleaners on Allendales, is a 3ltr going to be large enough for a cb550 carb? Or any model recommendations?
Thanks Dom 3

All I can say is how much patience do you have...at least with pods you don't need spare knuckles!

Ive ordered a 2kg powder for my workshop (woodwork rather than bikes) but I think ill get co2 and powder for my bike garage, co2 of fuel fires when working on cards and powder for worse situations

All this tinkering with carbs and fuel has got me thinking I should invest in a fire extinguisher, ive done some research into them but wondered what you all recommend? Powder seems the go to choice but it would appear its very corrosive, maybe not an issue when the other option is a pile of melted parts, foam is soon to be banned which leaves CO²

Finally got my hands on the heirloom Raleigh, far too late for my liking as its been carelessly stored against my advice in a damp shed. Its circa 1924, possibly a model 2 or 5, sadly when my great uncle had it it was in pretty decent condition with no signs of rust and good nickel plating. Im in a quandary as to what to do with it but for now I will give it a good clean and spray it liberally in acf50

I had a bad experience doing mine with 2k promax, followed the instructions and did it mid summer but it hasn't hardened and definitely isnt fuel proof
