My thanks to all who responded to my plea....
The concensus is evenly divided between Brake cleaner and Carb
cleaner... I shall try the Brake cleaner first as I have many cans of
the stuff in the shed...
I was concerned that it might destroy the plastic jets...
We'll see what happens...
The idle was not bad... so I thought I'd check the carbs settings with
the Auto-Syn. That's when I found out about the paint. I also found out
that the rear carb was shut off at idle!!
So I reset the carbs using the Auto-Syn... and now I have a lumpy
idle... some days you just can't win :-))
