It certainly looks cleaner with the ugly tins removed, anyway. Wink

I was looking at the carb last night and the slide was covered in black grime. And the butterfly had a scorched look to it. Could be the intake valve isn't sealing well. And that means the exhaust valve is probably in similar shape. For all I know, there could be critters living in the cylinder. Or Chilean coal miners.

I hope youre able to dedicate the time you need to get it where ya want it by Spring.

I just got a torch & a bunch of Brazing stuff. Tried it out. Its pretty easy, I just cant see well, somehow, seems the goggles affect the glasses, everythings fuzzy. Makes me do a lousier job than I would if I could see better,, or so I will continue to claim,,
