I work on one carb at a time. Carefully dismantle it, scrub each part with a toothbrush after soaking with b-12 Chem tool. Rinse with more carb cleaner and blow everything off with compressed air. I use paper towels to wipe residue of the various needles and other parts. Then reassemble with...

Thanks for that piece of info. I half wish I waited to pull the carbs after I bought an Ivans kit but I was hoping a clean would sort them out without needing to spend more money. Pulling the carbs again shouldn't be bad now that I know all the steps and everything is already nice and clean. I...
