Holy smokes!,! Thanks for all that. Gonna have to take a look this week. But if I’m able to decipher all that, I should be looking for a vm22/210 style float bowl. On it! Gonna need to sort out jets too

They look the same to me. Only thing different is one is missing the little brass tube. Otherwise identical.

The deposits were there prior to the bath, don't think that is what's causing it. I'm using a diluted simple green. For soda blasting, can u just change the media in the blasting cabinet and away you go or are there changes required.

Here a little update. I took the advice and went back to the carbs that were paired. They needed some serious tlc and were coated in some weird salt like deposits. No idea what it is. (More on that below) I decided to give them a hack of a bath and let them soak in a warm bath for 24hr or...

Would these be the item in question?

The gentleman that previously owned this steed (1975 xs650) decided to remove the bars and replace them with this clip on one's. I don't like them and plan to remove them and replace them with something more classic. Was curious what I'm supposed to use to get bars recounted? Looks like he...

Any suggestions on what to put in the ultrasonic cleaner? At the moment I have some simple green degreaser but it’s not gonna do much for that nasty carb.

I very much don't wanna mess up that post. Gonna have to find some patience and take my time with it.

I think that lower bracket might actually have been in one of the Bins. But definitely getting caught up on the cam tensioner. I'm having a help of a time getting it cleaned and the pin for the floats out... bit of a nightmare at the moment

I recently acquired a 1975 XX650 and it came with some issues, as well as a couple Rubbermaid bins of things and a whack load of carbs. Like 10 plus the two on the bike, all of varying condition and levels of neglect. The ones on the bike definitely need some minding and what I was hoping to...
