GPZ600 carbs rebuild, PT 1 Trading up

As you know I bought two sets of carbs at Normous Newark, to hopefully rebuild and 'trade up' eventually to a bike of over 1000cc capacity.
This video shows you the full rebuild of these GPZ600 carbs. How do they come out?

What engine cleaner do you use?

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, I have tried loads of different types of engine cleaner. The one I always use now is Carplan engine cleaner. It isn't cheap about £28 a gallon. But it works superbly.

Hi I’ve got the head off a R1150GS, any idea how to strip the old paint? Thanks

[@RestorationBiker]

Hi, that's a good question, not very easy to answer though. The paint on these heads is very difficult to remove. It does flake and peel, but you can remove the flaking bits, but you won't get the good paint off. The only way is to get it blasted, or remove as much as you can then, rub the rest down to get the best surface for a re-paint. Not easy, you can make it look ok but it is a long job.

@@RestorationBiker Thanks for the reply.
I have just contacted motorworks for a quote on a replacement head.
The paint on them is almost as tough as the magnesium alloy they are made of.
The bike is a beautiful piece of engineering shame they designed them to dissolve in the rain.

@@GadgetMart Yes you are dead right. They look great when they are new but it doesn't like the british winter
