Couple points: The pilot screws you are talking about are mixture screws that decide if your bile runs rich or lean. They do not sync the carbs.
I have derusted tanks using both The Works and Prep + Etch. Both will work. Be careful not to leave them in too long or you can go right through the tank and create pin holes. Here are some things I copied from the Internet. You can Google sentences from this if you want to find the original full stories. You need: 2 bottles of “the Works” toilet cleaner baking soda and water ISO heet (O-Reilly?) hair dryer ATF and Marvel oil use the Works full strength for about 45 mins, then dump flush with baking soda and water to neutralize the acid shake out as much water as possible use Iso-heet to remove the rest of the water Use a blow drier on "low" to blow some warm air through the tank so it won't have condensation problems 1: drain the gas, as much as possible. 2: pour in 1 gallon full strength phosphoric prep+etch (home depot $15) 3: gave it a couple good shakes, let sit, shake more, let sit, repeat. 4: drained the prep+etch. Rust was gone as far as I could tell. 5: rinsed 2x with baking soda+water 6: rinsed 2x with just water 7: poured in a bottle of heet, sloshed that around for a few minutes 8: added 2 gallons of gas No flash rust. 1. Dump in *Klean-Strip "Prep & Etch"* phosphoric acid 2. neutralized the solution (you mix it with some water) with baking soda and water 3. rinse it out with naphtha and alcohol solvents to remove any residual water (iso-heet) 4. coat the inside of the tank with ATF and some Marvel oil to prevent rust until you use it next. 1. Plug the bottom with some nitrile gloves and hose clamp (this was because Magna tanks do not have petcocks attached -EGrider) 2. Dumped in two bottles of “the Works”, slosh it around, and let it sit for about two hours 3. About 5 hours later, dilute the mixture to the top with water. 4. About a week later I can see metal but has the appearance of light-moderate surface rust. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
