[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 15907, member: 4034"] I used the "Eastwood system", although got the advice from Bev Bowen. I used it on a 276 carb on another bike (not a Vin), and it looked really good. It however had the carb body, float body and float top all in zinc alloy, whereas my rear 376 vin carb has a zinc bodies and an aluminium floatbowl cap, and the front a plated brass body and alloy cap. There's no sign that the rear carb ever had any kind of finish on it except cad on the bottom nut, and since it doesn't clash with the rest of the bike, I've left it alone. Silkolene make a product called "Carb cleaner" and boy, is it effective. Not squirt and brush, just squirt. [/QUOTE]
