Here's a brand new 10 liter in Sidney as well.

Didn’t even see this
I bought a vevor 10L one anyway, was pretty cheap

 

[Loose Chain]

That will get the job done. Using ultrasonic makes a big difference.

 

[Loose Chain]

Did you get your parts from the guy in Sydney?

Haven’t been up there to pick them up yet
I hate driving up to Sydney
Still waiting for the ultra sonic cleaner to turn up too

I hate driving up to Sydney

Is the road not good?

 

[Chudman1]

It’s alright, will probably wait till I got something else up that way as well

You been to Sydney before?

No I haven't. Would like to one day.

Picked up the airbox and carbs today, will send a photo soon. The drive was even more punishing then I’d imagined

Still waiting on the ultrasonic to turn up, hoping it’s here before next weekend

 

[Chudman1]

Ultrasonic arrived today. Timing was impeccable as I already had the day off and tomorrow is a public holiday

Here’s a shot of the airbox and carbs I picked up on the weekend.

 

[Chudman1]

Ultrasonic seemed to have done a good job getting some of the varnish off
Blasted all the air circuits with cleaner and polished the float seats

Didn’t have time to piece everything back together today, but it’s getting close now

I really need to buy one of those...

 

[Loose Chain]

Looking good. If anyone needs an air box I have a spare now.

Reasonably inexpensive, as loose chain mentioned earlier, I see the appeal to getting a bigger one.
I got the 10L and did 3 separate loads so it wasn’t too crowded.
I’ve still got one more clean to go.
Here’s a photo for size comparison

That picture is worth a ton! Ive been trying to determine what size is best and the measurements online don't help. Looks like the 20L would for all 4 carbs. Do you think that's right?

 

[Loose Chain]

Yes with the 20 liter one you can do all the carbs and parts at the same time. One thing I found was it took a long time to heat up. The second time I used it I started with hot water from the tap and it didn't take long to get it to full heat. You can start the cleaning process while it is coming up to full temp.

I know haha
Cause I had been trying to comprehend the sizing myself

 

[Chudman1]

Starting to do the rebuild today
Just noticed the rebuild kit I got doesn’t have a plug for the slow speed jets…

Anyone have any ideas?

 

[brettp]

Maybe you can find the plugs on amazon.
