Hi guys,

I just got the ultrasonic cleaner how long the carbs need to be clean. It might be a stupid question, but I am wondering if the metal can get damaged if it is staying to long.
cheers

I have a set or 2 of carbs in an Sonic Bath for over a week with no ill effects, just used de-mineralised water and Zok

When I see the tiny one I bought....
But I need to get this sorted this week, I can't stand to have a bike and not ridding it.
It will be a bit of a victory as well as all the project I undertake over the last year none are finished.

So I am starting to think I should forget about it and move on....

There's only one problem with that Sonic Bath.....





.......it's 70 miles EAST of Scarborough!



The first set of carbs I took out there, were not completly drained of petrol :oops: No problem on the helicopter, but when I opened up my kit bag in the acommodation, that took some explaining :lol:

Oh yeah don't worry I know but sometimes I am a bit low :) and complain I have 4 classic car full restoration (paint, engine, bodywork, ulphostery,..) on the go obviously alone.
I have also a camping car which need restoration, and a small car with injection issue plus the bike, and the differents bits require in the house :) so I have a bit to do :)

Hopefully I will learn some bits in those adventure ;)
