I'll try it! Don't know if I can get to the rubber tank supports without removing the tank, but I guess I can put it on after for future ease.
You can't get to them without removing the tank but you don't have any need until then either.

Sometimes I keep a little written list of things I want to do or mods to make when I have to have things torn apart for other reasons. I put it with the parts or supplies and when I already have things torn apart, I can add the mods.
A recent example was my truck. I wanted to paint the calipers, but waited until I had to do the brakes, then when I had the calipers off and pads out, I painted the calipers and brackets. Saves mucho time on the mod and barely adds time to the normal job.

Can I use dish soap?
I used dish soap on mine, at neighbors (who's always wrenching on something) recommendation.
Also (and no one's mention it) you need to clean the slide. That black stuff is varnish. Clean off with 600 paper till shineny. Make sure no knicks or it will hang up in bore. I sware I got a few extra mpg's after cleanning mine.

If I end up opening up the carb again I will do that, right now I don't want to touch the darn thing for a long, long, long, time!

Try some carb cleaner in the gas like Seaform works in gas and in your oil to clean motor too.

Actually, I was told by the guy in the bike shop not to use that stuff, he said that it cuts the life of the rubber components in the carb a lot. He said the carb in a car is different and it's good to use, but not for a bike. I'm not sure how knowledgeable he was, but it kinda does make sense.
Even the carb cleaner I used said not to use it on plastic or rubber parts.

I called the Seafoam co. It will not hurt the rubber in carbs or motor. It is very good.

I stopped by Checkers Autoparts today and saw a bunch of the seafoam cans right on the counter. I bought one.
