Ultrasonic Cleaner

:hello: For the money Old School does a fantastic job. I have no patience for doing carbs. I do not due my own anyway. I have a set of 87 GPZ carbs that I loaned to Ron D. He robbed some parts from them & gave them back to me all taken apart. I took them to Ron A. He gave me a list of parts that I needed. I spent about $70 on parts. Then Ron A rebuilt them for me. He is the 76 year old guy who worked for Kaw. He uses some kind of blue de-greaser. He won't tell me who makes it. He calls it super blue. He gets it out of N.C. He soaks all the parts over night. These carbs was rusted & corroded really bad. Here is what they look like now. He charged me $45 which is < half of what he charges someone that he does not know. Here is what they look like now. By the way I have 2 sets of these.

I'm not doubting his work at all. In fact it is impressive. I just prefer to do my own and thought I was asking a simple question. I wasn't asking for a complete breakdown nor to step on anyone's toes.

:hello: When I get time I'll find out what makes them shine. My friend Ron A. does just as a good job. He has been doing carbs for 50 plus years. It is they just do not shine like Rick's. I did not intend on making anyone upset or what ever.

you not my friend ,, i know what you are trying
 
:hello: Nor you mine. I do not know you from Adam. Rick I told you in a PM that I have absolutely no intentions of going into the carb rebuilding business & no reason to so you have nothing to worry about. As far as my friend Ron A. goes he has plenty of work & doesn't care about the carbs being shiny. Also he mostly rebuilds motors. I'll s I do is try to help people.

Zombie thread alert! Damn you had to really dig to bring this back up didn't you? LOL

Those carbs look nice BTW. What did you use to blast them with? Do you have one of those sand-blasting booths?
 
:hello: I used my USA made SPEED BLASTER ($80) along with the super fine blasting soda 50 lb bag ($50) from Harbor Freight. When blasting with soda you need to use a small bore nozzle. ________________________________________________________________________________ 20220903_131900[1].jpg
