Elohesra Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Tinkering with the SRAD, this thing has been in the shed since 2008. First job get the tank drained - yes, I know I should have done that in 2008..... Oh dear, this came out.... Followed by what used to be a fuel pump....I may be some time with this.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have another set of carbs for the SRAD if needed, but the ones on the bike were set up with much dyno time by a fuelling genius and the bike always ran beautifully. So I'd like to clean them if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the expensive ultrasonic cleaning detergent stuff, but washing up liquid seemed just as effective. LC ran , briefly, before bursting rad and pissing water everywhere when head gasket failed. Found head studs all loose. I’ll post an after pic tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd like to clean them if possible. Nearly clean. Some more carb cleaner and ultrasonic after this. Replaced the float needle and pilots after this. Had a lot of trouble with pilots in the mx bikes, despite cleaning several times low rpm problems cured by fitting new same size pilot. Obviously not cleaning well enough , but modern fuel residue in pilots seems resistant to everything I have tried so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
