Carbs in the ultrasonic
Hi,
Would simply dunking my carbs with bowls off in the ultrasonic for carb cleaning be a bad idea? I would spray them down with compressed air afterwards but I wouldnt disconnect any of the lines once the carbs are off. Anyone done this before? |

With these carbs, that is not likely to get them completely clean.

First off...removal of all internal components required. I prefer splitting the carbset and replacing ALL orings, bowl orings and float valves as well, thereby wet testing and the process of resetting fuel levels are required as well...otherwise known as a REFURB.

Out of spec valves will cause erratic running when the engine is cold. If your valves need adjusting you'll chase carb problems forever.
