Experienced the magic of ultrasonic cleaners

Finally got around to getting my old gummed-up carbs out and cleaning the jets in a little ultrasonic cleaner I'd picked up for twenty bucks.  Holy Hannah, having the jets done in five minutes or so was a heck of an improvement over letting them sit overnight in a bucket of carb cleaner - which is all I've ever known to do before now.

At this point, I've inspected - and in large part, replaced - pretty much every component on the bike.  And now, for the first time since I bought it two years ago, it is problem-free.

Nice job cleaning the carbs, you can also used lemon juice to clean carbs, boiling the juice setting all metal parts in the pot when finish spry the parts with wd-40. I clean holley carbs and motorcycle carbs over the years using it.

Also brake bleeding if I have air trap in the system. Sometimes I will used this to and push the brake fluid back up in the master cylinder. "O" to i use ac vacuum pump sometimes to on cars for brake bleeding.
