F2 Carb Cleaning

<< < (2/3) > >>

MRieck:
Get rid of those carbs and get some CR-29's. You're going to need them when I get done with your head! ;D

G'Day Mike, I've got a set of early Mikuni flat slide "smooth bore" race carbs off an old Suzuki GSXR race bike, they are super lightweight compared to the OEM boat anchors, and I reckon they can be made to fit the CB750 head, would they be ok? Cheers, Terry.

 ::)   Terry, High Bro, and well done for being the first poser, sorry, I meant poster! (ha ha)
 If you send me your carb body, i will run it through my ultrasonic cleaner,that I have for my tatoo gear.
No "poking" no "scratching" no risk of widening orifices or any other damage , and its totally thorough.  Nothing can withstand the effects of ultrasonic cleaning, it was deseigned for removing caked on crud from inaccessable places, on a microscopic level.
The first time I used it was on my own F2's accelerator pump body, The bit were the "square" brass plug is factory fitted into a round hole.  You cannot clear this out with a "bit of wire" nor can you remove the plug or get into it in any way, once totally blocked, its a major headache......
I dunked it into the ultrasonic, switched it on , and in seconds, the crud was rising in a string of exploding bubbles....job done!  Nuf said.
many regards.

Hey Terry, I just cleaned the world's nastiest set of F2 carbs, every idle jet was clogged solid and the bowls were growing that green fuzz inside.  I filled the jets with Berrymans carb cleaner and left it overnight and just shot air through them and now they're clear.  The only problem I'm having is that I can't find my repair manual and can't remember the float height.  Do you know off-hand?
