    Old School Carb Rehab

    The carbs on my 99 GP1200 had all the paint coming off and were starting to corrode externally.

    I completely stripped them down removed all the hardware. I cleaned them, then glass bead blasted them.

    After coming out of the bead blaster I again cleaned them, then I chem-film coated them with Alodine.

    I then masked and coated them with black epoxy.

    This was a time consuming process but in the long run well worth it. The coating will keep any corrosion from occurring under the paint.

    I did the usual tricks, removed choke plates, plumbed for dual fuel supply and drilled the returns out. I also removed all the paint from the stainless and brass parts and polished them up.

    I installed all new Mikuni internal parts, upgraded the N&S and re-jetted.

    Here is the results.

        I think I am sticking with the R&D F/A I got it from Njjer I think can't remember exactly. It is a pain to align the F/A and get the top on though.

            You can find it online, I got mine from work it was heading for the chemical waste, 3 brand new never opened bottles.

            I can't remember who I bought that R&D power plenum from, it was in great shape.

                      Very nice Bill ! BUT glass beading carbs is really a no-no. I know you are very meticulous, but I would discourage others from doing this.

                      Also disc brake caliper paint seems to work on carbs very well.

                        Jme I disagree Glass bead works great as long as you take the time to prep and mask like any other job. You get out what you put into it. Pardon my slowness computer is down and all I have to work with right now is my phone

                              Glass beading is fine if you do the proper cleaning afterward to remove any leftover glass, which as I read it, he certainly did do. I love my blast cabinet, I use it for everything practically. You have to just be sure to clean everything afterwards, they are fantastic tools to have.
