Part 2: Complete rebuild 1979 carburettors

Nice work.

Using an ultrasonic cleaner is by far the easiest method. I did mine in a bath with "purple power" degreaser. Similar to simple green but not as caustic on aluminum and brass.

Before:




After disassembly and a dip in the cleaner for a couple hours.






I bought a used ultrasonic unit off of eBay for around $30, but the shipping cost close to $70 because of its weight. Even the cheap Chinese ones can do wonders. You don't have to buy special solution, any number of common cleaning chemicals work.

That's very interesting, Tyler. I've often wondered if I should buy an ultrasonic cleaner, and now you have convinced me!

Yes, I had the parts yellow passivated. Finishes them off beautifully.

This is what mine came up like after having one vapour blasted or water blasted as I think it was called





This is the bowls and caps I polished on sunday arvo
