This is the carburetor to Debbie's motorcycle. I'm trying to clean it
without humiliating myself, but I am currently being balked by at
least 7 frozen screws. Anyway, I took this shot but hated the colors
of the bench and wasn't thrilled with the B&W version, so I tried
selective desaturation.
Notice that when confronted with a true mechanical problem, I take a
picture of it and re-read Pirsig's essay on "stuckness". More
practically, I've order an impact driver from Lisle.
When you get it apart, remove all the rubber bits and dissimilar metals
like brass/bronze jets. Fill a slow-cooker with neat antifreeze (the
kind for alloy engines) and cook the carb overnight. Not in the
kitchen. Rinse and enjoy. Modelmakers discovered this trick for
removing castor-oil deposits from engines.
