Re: Engine cleaner [polish]
I have some fenders to be repainted and will see if it does react to a painted surface
Off for my 1st covid shot this afternoon and will try when I get back or sometime tomorrow

Re: Engine cleaner [polish]
I have just acquired an R68 and the carbs were scuzzy, dirty, dull and dingy. Looking at them, being the way I am, I was unhappy with the way they were. I figured I would try the Cream of Tartar and Vinegar trick, and WOW!!! Genius!
See pictures of the carbs below.

Good news that it had no reaction to the painted surface

Re: Engine cleaner [polish]
