    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

house is stinking good tonight!!

It's been done, but be careful it will/could discolour them.....

better off with BerryMan's dip, or dip in PineSol over night

hopefully you removed all the rubber and diaphragms, and have them taken apart

Why, oh why do they keep trying these things? :-k

Will be looking forward to the post in the Parts Wanted section: "Need a set of carbs for my '81 550. Anybody have some? "

Just a general hint (although it's a bit late now), to chemically remove something, you need a solvent that will dissolve the element to be removed. The crud in your carbs is PETROLEUM based, not food based. You need to use solvents based on petroleum products or some that have high detergent content, I don't think that vinegar fits into either one of those categories.

Yes they were broken down... Everything is fine guys ive done it several times to several different carb setups and never had any problems.... i reassemble them in the next couple of days and get them back on the bike. BTW they were relatively clean i just had them off to install a new starter and thought how it would be nice to do a little preventive maintence....
