Alf Stewart wrote:Going to have one more go at cleaning the jets, new ones are a lot more pricey then i thought.
Alf Stewart wrote:Some one has suggested i try 'Threebond super engine conditioner', give them a spray, soak for a good half hour, wash in water. Supposed to bring them up like new if i use a toothbrush. Sound about right or am i wasting my time if im not using a compressor?
Alf Stewart wrote:One last attempt at cleaning, likely tomorrow night, and if that fails I've found an Australian supplier of Keyster rebuild kits.
Kit comes with main jet, pilot jet, main jet holder, float needle and chamber, gaskets, orings and a few other bits. At $35 a carb i think it's a good buy. Considering the best price I've found for the holders alone is $40....
