Lucky for you do a bit of cycling or you would end up like the average truck driver....

Gave the Ford Fusion of elderliness a quick wipe.

Oops I've a gsxr 600 srad not turned a wheel in a few years 98 vintage, carbs never been off, I expect that will be in a mess too.

Yeh, we used to import 400's from Japan and 9 times out of 10 they needed the carbs stripping.

With a carb bike if you're planning to stand it up draining the tank and fload bowls is normally good enough.

Stale fuel bloody stinks as well..

Had an NC30 lovely bike but very small, I remember the days of BAT motorcycles etc and the grey import boom.
Do the carbs need ultrasonic cleaning or is manual scraping and carb cleaner good enough?

 

[keithmac]

If you strip them down and give them a good clean (carb cleaner, brass brush airline blow gun) then normally that's good enough.

We bought an ultrasound bath and they do clean up better in there but you still have to strip them down first.

Todays 'work' consisted of removing the old locking wheelnuts from the Ford Fusion of Elderliness, because the key is missing.

Took 30 seconds per wheel, so if you think lockers will protect your wheels you need to think again.

struggled a bit then did you ...

£25 for a set of removers for ANY type. and a 3ft breaker bar.

it stops the opportunist but not the dedicated scouser

 

[Drago]

Nope. 12 point socket, hammer it on, bar it loose, off it twiddled. Not wasting money on unnecessary extractors.

It takes longer knocking the nut out the socket prior to attacking the next one than it does to get the nut off in then first place. Wouldn't stop an opportunist, unless they left the house empty handed.

 

[Justinslow]

Oi! this is "show us" not "give us a description of"
Carry on.
