received and working on mako's carbs. Any residual fuel within has solidified, affecting every circuit in both carbs. The float valves were frozen solid in place...main, pilot , starter circuits..each required aggressive attention. Thankfully, the pilot jets were easily removed without drama.

There is NO WAY these could have been successfully cleaned in a first attempt..within a home setting...by an owner with minimal carb experience and no specialty tools. Yeah "carbs are easy", sure.

I pulled out all the stops...multiple courses using the machines, carb cleaner, guitar strings, compressed air...whatever/wherever it takes.

I'm confidant Mako's carbs will be transformed into service again....functioning correctly while looking presentable.

A few "before" pics.
