Finally starting to dismantle the bike before the spring!
Starting with the carbs: clean, change cables and gaskets.
The question, what is the best to clean the carbs with?

You can buy a carb soaking solution at the auto parts store. It's about like a big coffee can. Once the crab is broken down completely you soak it for a few hours and then rinse with VERY hot water to rinse/neutralize. Blow dry with compressed air and you are good to go. If you haven't taken them apart before, I reccomend doing 1 at a time so that when you go to reassemble you have the other carn to guide you as to where the extra parts go
What carbs are they?

Anders,
This is the stuff I have. Made by GUNK: http://tinyurl.com/4fter
Soaking in clean fuel won't dissolve the varnish and other junk that hardens in the passages.

Hello,
I noticed that the carbs won't get clean.
The Gunk stuff can be very tricky to get hold of here.
Another thing:
The fuel pump was on and I plan to remove it.
I assume I have to mount on a separate open/close vent then?
Is there any electric open/close vent available somewhere?
Use the same electric feeder as to the pump.
