[QUOTE="Comet Rider, post: 4528, member: 36"] [b]Jet blocks[/b] Hi Stuart, Don't remove the jet blocks, as it messes up the interferance fit arround the pilot passages (dont ask how I know). it would be far better to ultrasonically clean them, as I do.:mad: I use a dilute solution of B&Q brick and patio cleaner, then a session in water to remove the cleaner, then a final long session in either thinners or MEK (Volatile solvent cleaner):rolleyes: I do this on all our bikes once a year, and we no longer seem to have problems.:D Cheers Neil [/QUOTE]
