Basically got the carbs done. Tuesday I'll be ordering new floats (wasn't able to save the originals). Only other thing is to find out where to set the throttle stop screws and the air screws. I wasn't thinking and just took them out. Part way through I thought, Dang it! I should have checked where these were set. Anyone know where they should be set?
Anyway, didn't take any pics of the inside but here's the outside. The shiny was just quickly trying out my dremel polishing attachment.
Still researching to find out the best way to remove the sealer in the gas tank and reline it.
On top of basically finishing the carbs I figured I should look into the petcock and dropped it into the ultrasonic cleaner. It was NASTY. The screen wouldn't come out and as soon as the cleaner came out clouds of junk started "floating" out.
I was all ready to put it all back together and started cleaning out the bowl. I was contemplating dropping it in for another round of cleaning since it was still a little rough inside. It was then that I noticed something.
Do you see it?
How about now?
If you couldn't see it before you should in this picture.
Yep, a dang hole in the bowl.
As you can see from the pictures there are a lot of "divots" in there. I was a little surprised. Guess I should have left all the gunk since it was keeping the hole clogged up. Guess I'll be ordering one of these now.
