[Mgs] Carb cleaning

[PaulHunt73]

Depends how far you want to go.  Aerosol carb cleaner will blast external 
oil/grime off the bodies and linkages as it (what we get in the UK anyway) 
is more powerful than other aerosols.  But it won't shine them up, just 
leave the alloy much the same as it was before they got mucky i.e. anything 
from polished to oxidised.

If you want to go further you can take the covers off, noting which came off 
each carb, and take the pistons out - carefully - again noting which came 
from each carb.  The carb cleaner will blast black combustion residue off 
both in my experience, and from the inside of the body.  There is a slight 
risk of pushing something into the jets that shouldn't be there with that 
last part, unless you plug them with something like a toothpick perhaps.
