if you post me your petrol tap will. i will strip it and clean it in the ultrasonic cleaner then rebuild it checking the o rings and diafram

Martin; - what model of ultrasonic cleaner are you using?

Salty

its made by a german company called triton.
it has a adjustable heater that goes up to 80c
it is the 4 litre size.
its big enough for brake calipers and it will also take a kr1s cylinder head and barrel

mind you. it was over £200

£200 is a bit strong - do you do a carb cleaning service?

Got a pair of carbs from a barn find KR that looks like they have been laying in a bath of dog pee and rock salt - even I wouldn't try and use them without a clean

Salty

no problem martin.
you send um to me I will put them through the cleaner and post back
beer tokens will do me plus the postage hows that
petrol taps are good as well. as you cant get inside those either

your tap was a tad dirty will

nice and clean now,after 40mins in the ultrasonic cleaner, do you want me to buy a fuel tap rebuild kit [new diafram and new rubbers]they are about£15

[/url]

Those alloy tap parts could do with a vapour blast Martin

Fantastic martin, yes please if I'm going to do it i might as well do it properly, superb. Thanks

at least you wont have any dirty/rusty fittings on your engine

have they just come back from the platers martin?

yep.
look a lot better than before. prob the rustyest bolts I have had to rub
down for plating,

Nice, what coating have they been treated to Martin?

just zinc plate ben .
they don't seem as shiny as what they have done before. but still ok.

must be zinc plate and not bright zinc plate [still better than rust
when I get the next lot done [I will do your rear wheel spindle and washer
with castle nut. ] Bernie wants front and back spindels with suspension nuts and bolts.

thanks for the kips link ben

I was thinking of getting a batch done myself, but I want to get the bike as a rolling chassis first before I send the frame to the endorsers. All will be revealed why further down the build thread.
