    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carb Detailing

Well I finally started rebuilding my carbs and wanted to clean them up a bit before putting them all back together. I noticed one other bike on here having black carbs but I can't remember who it was and I searched but couldn't find anything. So here's what I'm wondering, if all the holes and orifices and moving parts were masked off would there be any harm in painting the carb bodies? Also, would it be OK to use the 500F degree engine enamel? Not that I'm worried about them getting hot but it just seems like that would probably be more durable against the chemicals in that area and would spray on better than auto body paint.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Thanks

Talk to Steve. He did that to his wifes 850. Looks fantabulous. I dont think he even took them off the bike to shoot em either.
 
I used dupli colour high heat aluminum paint. It has a nice sheen to it. I just cleaned the carbs with varsol using a small brush to get into the tight places. Even if there are ome spots that are a bit dirty the paint sticks to it with no noticeable effects, Ted
