I'm in the middle of cleaning and reviving a set of carbs for mine just now, bought them all gummed up with old fuel, got 3 of them done and the last one is in the ultrasonic bath for the umpteenth time, this was the worst one by far but I'll get it back to life. Acetone has been the best to get the thick of the gunge out but think I might need new slow running jets as they are still blocked.

I've been using carb cleaner and a soft brass brush. I ran all the parts and bowls through the ultrasonic cleaner but did not take the stack apart.
I set the bowl height and had to get 1 new main jet.
They seem to be pretty clean and functioning. Just bench synced them but my #2 has a stripped bolt on the bowl. I'm trying to find the size of the bolt so I can either tap a size larger or helicoil it. Anyone know the size of the bowl screws/bolts?

My guess would be M4 but I'm not familiar with these carbs as mines an F1. I had to helicoil M3 threads when I was at sea that was scary!

Yes, M4 so I bought M5 to tap and 50 new screws. Probably need them in the future. Thanks
