Konish Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Well, being in Japan usually means being at home all day and evening on New Year's Eve...which actually appeals to me at 40 Anyway, having that kind if time on my hands does have it's advantages... (after initial polish) I inherited these when I bought my car and boy were they a MESS!. Stripped every component (pump shafts, choke mech on the back, jets, etc), soaked the stripped bodies in vinegar overnight a few nights ago, dropped all the jets in Brasso and thoroughly cleaned and flushed them, blew compressed air through all the passages etc. Finally, I took my Dremel with a rosebud wire-brush and cleaned all the AL Oxide and funk off them... (art shot all dolled up) Wish I had a before...but you've all seen dirty carbs before. Just waiting on the gasket kit. The I'm on the hunt for a better manifold, linkage, pump etc...

Konish Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Yep, USN. I could not be happier here both on CFAY and in Japan. I begged my detailer for another tour in Japan (previously in Sasebo some 10 years ago) and ended up here. Thanks for asking! R/ D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
