I don't think I have seen a monobloc with so much crud in it before. Getting it clean will probably be difficult but will work wonders.

Hi

This one was refurbished and is now back on the road:

The gum was dissolved in acetone and the remaining scale removed by abrasion, (DIY soda blasting). Only had to replace the gaskets and a broken throttle stop screw.

Regards Mick

Mick D,

Your carb is now in first place in the "Crud in the carb" contest. Well done for getting it clean enough for use.
