    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi All
While waiting for some money to get on with major components of of Jennifer's make over, I have started tackling smaller jobs to keep me busy and the process moving forward.
This weekend I stripped and cleaned the carbs, now, they are not going to be going on for some months to come, my qustion is this, how would you store them, so that when the time comes for fitting, I can just bolt them straight on, seeeing that the work has been done on them?
I was thinking of a light coating of Q20 or the like and a vacum bagging them, or is that over the top, just well wrapped up in a plastic bag, to keep dust out?
 
If there is no fuel in them put them inside in a plastic bag. Spray the inside of the bag with WD-40.
 
Wrapped in news paper and placed in a cardboard box with packing peanuts, is all I've ever done.

Never had one not work as a result of storage...
 
Back in the day we just used 2 'bread sacks', sprayed them with WD, one sack one way the other sack the other way. :cool:

Drained the fuel of course.
