Is there a magical carby cleaner?

[ianscr250]

Theres a thing called
START YOU BASTAD its an either mix just like aerostart  absolutly brilliant for cleaning carbs inside and out

[090]

I think there's a stronger version out now called  OH COME ON !

[mx250]

Fun or Sanity ?

I would have thought to buy NOS would take the INsanity out of resto 

[Freakshow]

Freaky, if the price is still ~AUS$150, then I'll grab one.

090, good call.

"start you bastard" is a must for the workshop.I use it for everthing except what it is made for.

cleaning threads before using locktite,cleaning plastics,removing glue residue left from decals,removing rubber hammer marks from rims etc etc

those look nothing like the ones i got, the last ones i got where the standard old shape, that one in the pics got somthing weird going on in the top breather obove themouth and the fuel line spigot is angled.

Either these are for somekind of jet ski or ATV apps, or maybe they are a new improved version.  the one's i have been getting look like the normal 34mm VM like NOS 74/75 , with the choke level not puller.

The picture is generic and used on all his round slide listings, it looks like a powerjet carbie to me though.

         looking for a 36 tm 36.68 double pumper, last time I looked them up they where $660 ASD landed

i can get VM 34's for 93.99 USD

[Freakshow]

i can get VM 34's for 93.99 USD

are they the old style or the funky looking one like the above Email ?

[LWC82PE]

they would be the aftermarket mikuinis with 'mikuni corp' on the side and not 'mikuni kogyo' (or whatever they say) like the OEM but i don't think they look like those ebay ones either. not sure.

i blasted 4 carbies with ballotini impact spheres (glass beads). they came up real good i will post photos tomorrow.


i initially tryed a bowl in some septone ali brite. it sort of works but leaves them dull dark grey. its because of the zinc in the alloy. im pretty sure that stuff says dont use on zinc plated nuts/bolts etc for that reason. the cleaner works very well on other alloy though (not cast alloy)

[Freakshow]

yep my problem isnt cleaning, my problem is the other where old and scored and loose inside, and for some reason i kept loosing those stupid slide sprung idle screw, for som reason every race day they would just fall out ? in the end i was siliconing them in but not a problems since i chucked the new ones on.
