Carb-cleaner is no longer effective at dissolving dried-petrol varnish due to removal of chlorinated compounds.

In addition to hours in ultrasonic cleaner with radioactive caustic solvents, thorough carb-cleaning requires mechanical scraping with wire and flossing all fuel-circuits. Some people use guitar wire of specific gauges for each type of hole being reamed.

Also needs soda blasting @ 100000psi. For example, did you disassemble emulsion tube and ream out every bleed-hole with tight-fitting wire?



There are guys here who can rebuild entire engine with both hands tied behind their back using their teeth only. And they have had to pull and re-clean their carbs 4-5 times ever more thoroughly before bike ran in factory-fresh condition. If your bike doesn't run like it was when leaving showroom floor, carbs aren't cleaned to factory-fresh condition.
