    You need to ask Mike--5380 on the series 1 forum. He has done many of them and has several options.

    The simple green will make the carby go a darker colour. I ordered in some simple green HD from bunnings as apparently it will not change the colour of the alloy. You can't argue with the results.




    I purchased a big ultrasonic cleaner through vevor last year. I'm quiet impressed with it. I do use water that is as hot as possible when I fill it. Then it can easily heat to its highest setting for cleaning.

    To do anything about the visible look of the carbies, you will probably need to vapour or soda blast the carby bodies. Ultrasonic cleaning will not remove corrosion.
