When I rebuilt my 450 carbs the tutorial was invaluable, I managed to get it close enough to right the first time.

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.

Nobody said you did – it's just so you don't repeat PO's mistake.
Seems to be a design mistake on the CV's, the pins came out very easily on my VM's (or maybe the dies were either very fresh or very worn out when the bodies of my carbs were cast).

The magic occurs when you put Berrymans in the ultrasonic cleaner. I was amazed the first time I did it. It only takes about 5 minutes. Water does fine, chemdip gets medieval with it. Remember if you buy Chemdip there are two different types. The 0996 is the consumer grade product it does clean good, and it can eat aluminum if you leave it soaking too long. The 0905 chemdip is aluminum safe it has a completely different chemistry. The 0905 is the professional strength chemdip, and is way stronger than the 0996. It is odd that the weaker product eats aluminum, and the professional 0905 does not bother aluminum. Don't use heat if you put chemdip in the ultrasonic cleaner, the 0905 boils at 110F. If you get it boiling the fumes are indescribably strong, like ammonia strong. And yes I actually did that, and it was bad. The carbs sure looked good once I got the fumes out of the shop. Ultrasound transcends metal cans. You can fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water and set a metal can with chemdip and carb parts down into the ultrasonic cleaner. When you turn the machine on the can is invisible to the ultrasound, the parts in the can get cleaned like they were in the main tank. This helps to keep the machine clean.
