I have three carbs that have been stood years, i have tried to clean them with petrol, and carb cleaner, but they are still scaley and dirty, how do you get them spotless, i know you can get them cleaned with ultrasonic, but with three carbs i think it will be expensive, thanks in advance :help:

My brother used to boil his (off his trials bike) for an hour or so.....and no, im not kidding.

wow....but did it work.?

It did, used to get all the crap out of it - think he used to do it in salt water.....

If you have one (and don't have a mrs) then dishwasher's the way to go - give them a good rinse afterwards with water and carb cleaner/petrol and make sure the jets are clear.
(I'd remove the jets before putting in the washer)
