CB550/4 Carbs - Main jet problem
« on: September 16, 2005, 05:41:25 AM »
I cleaned my carbs with Berkibile 2+2 and found that the cast aluminum?magnesium will be eaten away at the point where the main jet mounts also on the posts supporting the float.  Is there a way to restore this lost metal.  I am thinking of using a gas resistant liquid metal that hardens.  Any thoughts ?

You'd probably be much better off just buying another used set of carbs off eBay.
