      Humor me here, perhaps I missed something but what did you dip the carburetors in and for how long? What was the rest of your cleaning process?

        Dipped it in acetone for a night and used compressed air on all the passages. There is no real carb dip available here.

            Do you have ultrasonic cleaners? They work better than any dip anyway.

              Yes they are available. Is there anything else I can use or do?

                  I swapped the carb bodies. It runs real good now. Thanks for all the help.
