I suggested yamalube carb dip to you last year. You can immerse the whole carb if you like, it doesn't harm plastic or rubber and works great. But you ignored that advice, probaby you could make something cheaper at home from diesel fuel and caustic soda or something that works better. So, forget the yamalube. You wouldn't like it.

Well, I got a brilliant idea.  Smiley Use both dips! One for each carb. That lets me dip them longer and still get things done.

I couldn't get the spring and oring out of one carb, so I put it in the Berryman's, hoping the soak would get it unstuck. The Napa brand might would have done a better job, though.

The two dips are different colors. The Berrymans is very dark, while I can see through the Napa stuff. The Berryman's has a bigger, better basket. Their ingredients vary quite a bit. The napa brand seems to have more oil/petroleum stuff like naptha (its first ingredient), and the Berrymans has more weird chemicals like amines (no naptha). They do share some common ingredients, though. They even seem to smell different. Both leave a slimy feel on nitrile gloves, though. We'll see how each acts.

Thanks for the advice. If I need more carb dip, I'll keep it in mind.

Anybody know how much tension should go in the throttle springs? I got a tip from a mikuni site, I think. You basically just turn it in tension till everything lines up. Different carb, though... Do all of them work about the same? I doubt the manual will be of any help. It does not even suggest removing the throttle assembly. The throttle assembly has been a bit of a jigsaw puzzle, getting everything in tension, put together and aligned just right.
