Hi All Ive got a Dellorto carb I need to clean the slow running jet as it wont tick over. While its on the dining room table i might as well strip it all down and clean it. Any one got any ideas of cleaning producys to use or just use petrol. Thanks

If you're just cleaning the jets, take them out and blow them through, that's all they need.
As for cleaning the carb internals, I've used carb cleaning spray in the past with limited success, but that was on a corroded one

Yes, well I agree with Nik re. jets. DO NOT poke them out with wire, just blow them out. I've used Halfords purchased Brake Cleaner as it evaporates pretty quickly, but if you have petrol 'gumminess' build-up then petrol and an old toothbrush in a well ventilated area works wonders. Finish off with the brake cleaner as it leaves it all squeaky clean & free of residues.

ultrasonic cleaning seems to be the way for properly cleaing out of carb internals, can buy kits for about £30 or make your own for a tenner.. not that I have!

You should remove all the grime and dirt with an old brush that you are about to throw away.
