I don't want to be too critical but.....a bush league video, the "toothbrush and spray can, driveway method". A crapshoot...this method may or may not be effective...as SO much is left undone. Not even close...can't remotely compete with correct, professional cleaning methods coupled with the use of modern machines.

As many of these bikes are ageing...more extensive service procedures are required...automatic replacement of consumables, confirmation of adjustments, micro cleaning and clearing every (full) circuit.....and much more

And a WARNING on the video...at 2:21 through 2:29.... NEVER EVER spray carb cleaner with slides/diaphragms installed. Would you risk spraying? Did anyone tell him the slides are PLASTIC, the diaphragms RUBBER? Permanent (expensive $$$) damage can occur, quite an ill advised method right there, unprofessional at best.

EDIT: the subject "carb clean" video I'm referring to has, thankfully, been removed
