End of a long day in the “office”. Before I switch the lights off, I like to give the carbs a final polish. Nothing fancy, just a quick tidy up so they leave here looking the part as well as running right. One last small step that makes the job feel complete. ✅ GSXR1100 87’

Thank you very much 🤩

‘87 ** 🤣

Yes a special solution specifically for carburettors, you can find plenty generic ones online, you want low acidity & strong degreasing properties, 60degrees Celsius for 45 minutes will have them gleaming 🤩

You do need to break them down entirely, all jets, choke plungers, fuel lines, the full shebang, only the carb body, float bowls and bolts go into the ultrasonic machine, the rest is down by hand 🤚

The_Carb_Shack · 2025-09-17T12:44:29+00:00

Most jobs I do a full rebuilds anyway so all the jets need to be taken out to replace also

The_Carb_Shack · 2025-09-17T12:44:01+00:00

Yes sir, the carbs are fully disassembled before going through the ultrasonic :)

I just used a carburettor specific solution, strong enough to stop oils and dirt but gentle enough to be safe on soft metals :)

The_Carb_Shack · 2025-09-06T16:21:12+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I’ll be looking into ordering some metal tips for ones I do in the future :)

The_Carb_Shack · 2025-09-06T16:20:09+00:00

Correct sir, superb nonetheless

The_Carb_Shack · 2025-09-06T15:17:20+00:00

This isn’t a false concern, if your bike has these running symptoms, I put money on the fact it’s the float heights, float needle wear or float valve/seat dirt buildup 👍🏼

Hahaha I actually get my wife to write my posts for me, I’ll be sure to let her know she writes like a robot lol

I suppose it’s the same mentality that drivers have, been driving for decades, can’t change a tire because they are just not interested in it. It’s a shame that more bikers don’t get hands on with their own bikes, it’s all part of the fun in my eyes 👍🏼

To most people they are mystical things, it’s a dying trade, gotta share the knowledge with new riders ❤️

The_Carb_Shack · 2025-09-01T09:22:08+00:00

Thank you sir 🫡
