 there's a chance that the dip can soften, dissolve, or turn those 30+ year old bits of plastic super brittle. the only way to not ungang all 4 carbs is if you have an ultrasonic cleaner big enough to do all 4 all together at the same time.

 I would argue that even with an ultrasonic cleaner you should still de-gang the carbs since flushing the debris out would be next to impossible without doing it. Come one guys, stop with short cuts. Do it right and be done with it. Other wise you're doomed to doing it again.
 
 I both dip and ultrasonic clean disassembled gang when I do carbs.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

 Darn, with so many daily riders it's hard to decide which one to jump on next.;)

 And there are filter screens behind the float seats on CV carbs which would also get potentially damaged.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

 I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

 i don't plan on taking any shortcuts. I wouldn't have bought a "project" had that been my intention hahaha. Also I don't mean dip the carb's still attached. I mean cam I throw all internal parts in together. Right now I have everything separated by carb in solo cups. 1 cup for each carb (only dipping non plastic or rubber parts). I work my way through one carb at a time. In this order: carb body, float bowl, carb cover, all internal metal parts. 4 separate dip sessions for each carb. I worded my question poorly but it was can I just throw as much in at a time to make this process faster? I guess it is a shortcut but I was just wondering if it mattered.Originally posted by JTGS850GL View PostI would argue that even with an ultrasonic cleaner you should still de-gang the carbs since flushing the debris out would be next to impossible without doing it.
