So maybe a silly question - but those all look nearly brand new. You clean the outside also,
@ducatiman?

Yessir. I didn't want to bore the forum (nor abuse bandwidth) posting numerous before/after pics. After complete disassembly, individual components safely machine cleaned. Ultrasonic, special chemical bath and/or soda blast (or combinations) depending on various factors.
Priority to restore while avoiding any damages whatsoever. Many of these old carb components are NLA. I remain careful, cognizant and respectful of what I'm dealing with. No drinkin'.....
While in my possession, treated as if they were my own.
Anyways, I can understand lack of interest in carburetors on this late model Honda forum. But if my services appeal to any multiple bike owners in need of carb repair/resto, don't hesitate to contact me. Dirt bikes, ATV's, singles, twins, multi's, vintage auto too.

Been doing small equipment repairs for a large, commercial landscape outfit. Ongoing. Blowers, hedge trimmers, weed whackers, finish one, get another. Tiny, little 2 cycle Walbro carbs totally different, lotta dormant, non starters. These things so tiny require near microsurgery. I'm in a fun yet challenging learning curve predicated by different design, procedures and diagnostics of these things.
A set of CB400T carbs in the house, too.

A (formerly) clogged tiny Walbro "check valve" (actually a main jet) under repair. Microsurgery. A 10mm socket shown for reference, the black circle is the check valve diaphragm. Both needed clearing/cleaning. Very tiny detail work, the valve is carefully pressed into (and out of) the body (as opposed to screwed in like a traditional jet)
As these tiny little carbs can go for up to $160......we fix, not replace. Cost? Nuthin', included within my basic service fee. And carb kit under $10!
