Mikuni carburetor

Tonight got more disassembly & cleaning done on Mr. Mikuni's fuel bowl cover, carb top section, air horn, whatever else it's called... The choke breaker, pull off diaphragm, whatever else it's called was fun to take apart & it's diaphragm was totally shot (no wonder the truck ran so rich on startup) The wax pellet does it's thing correctly in the ultrasonic cleaner heated bath water (see pics) the choke butterfly opened nicely & stays open... Bath water has Pine-Sol (not much) & Palmolive dishwashing soap (a fair amount) and the 2.5L size cleaner with basket is just big enough to clean the Mikuni parts...

Mikuni parts are getting pretty scarce; ebay & Rock Auto has helped but not all is available (so far in my parts search) Now, I understand the convenience of the Weber conversion in the case of keeping the truck on the road any way ya can... Hawaii is a no smog state so if needed, a Weber conversion might very well help keep me trucking... I have not lost faith in fixing my Mikuni yet; luckily I have a 2nd carb from PicknPull to help cobble me a good carb...

NOTE: Don't use Pine-Sol if you like the Golden look of cadmium plating ~ it will change it to silver gray color..!

Until we meet again; good luck camoit in updating, please hurry, we need our daily fix of drucks
