Nothing like tearing into my bike after a long business trip! I read a forum posting while I was on the road about cleaning carburetors. The posting had several postings hailing Pine Sol as one of the greatest carb cleaners of ALL TIME.

| Oh look ma, more gunk! |
The idea of a cheap, effective, and deliciously scented carb cleaner tickled my fancy. So down I went to Canadian Tire on a mission to buy two bottles of the stuff... but they were on sale so I bought four.
I rummaged through all the crap I've taken off the bike and find the clunky Keihn. DAMN these things are heavy. Starting from the right (while sitting on the bike) I undo the first set of float bowl screws.

| So clean you could... put fuel in it |
 |
| Mostly clean save for some fuel stains |
 |
| More fuel stains. Think Pine Sol can move this stuff? |
 |
| Not a terribly relevant picture, but I like the focus of the shot |
It was a good thing I bought four bottles of Pine Sol because I had to top it off with a bottle of water to submerge the whole carburetor.
 |
| In it goes |
As the carbs came apart, I put the various pieces in little cups. Four ups for four carburetors and a fifth cup for misc. parts.
 |
| Can't wait to see how they turn out |
