Maritime's new GL - 2UP Distance eater

After the shake and a blast of air you can see light. Through it pretty good. Now I got 2 fucked up float bowl threads and will have to retap
 
So here is what the carb cleaner looks like after 20 min shake.

The bits.

And my bowls looked like this.

All 4 carbs are clean, compressed aired out and re-assembled. Hope they are good. I know I had 3 out of 4 air jets plugged solid and orings that fell to bits so it was long overdue.
 
Hope it fires as nice as this last one did for me! Just expect a long crank time until the bowls fill and it fires up. Your brass look real good.
 
Thanks, I watched your vid, must have felt good. The first crank in spring is always a long one. I drain the bowls in the fall. Here they are almost all back together.

Gives a chance to clean off the top of the engine, too. How does all of that stuff get back there past the radiator and "shroud"?
 
Big difference already. I had to use two cans of Gunk foamy engine cleaner followed by Scrubbin' Bubbles (Dow bathroom cleaner). Then cotton shop towell wrapped around a sharpened piece of wood to dig into the fins on the bottom. I was getting it ready to paint, though. Once assembled, it really does make a difference. I did like you on the '79 last summer, and it looks so much better.
 
Yep, I'll clean it up as best I can without going too nuts, this bike isn't a show bike it gets ridden hard all season in all weather, it will be filthy again the first time I get caught out in bad weather.
 
I got some of that but I can't use it in the basement. I'd get shot. I'll hit the lower half with that outside later in the spring when I can hose it off after etc. It is good stuff for de-greasing engines.
