    You need a zinc plating setup. All those steel parts you stripped are going to rust all to crap when some moisture hits them.

      I have a guy local to me who does all my zinc plating cheap. All the steel parts get done and all the fasteners will be stainless steel

          Being a computer numbskull i somehow deleted most of the rebuild pics.
          I did get most of the bits from Z1Enterprises.

              So, I cheated a bit. After partially disassembling the carbs in an orderly fashion, I just never seemed to get back to them. I decided to send them out to Bill:chef1366 so he could do his magic.

              Here are some pictures after the rebuild:

                Those look great!
                Have you decided which bike they are going on?
