Hi folks, would anyone be interested in having their carbs cleaned on their mini ? I've got a large ultrasonic cleaning tank that I clean motorcycle carbs in . Normally I charge £20 for a set of carbs . Would have to be stripped first though. If someone on this site already does this. Or this is not allowed then please remove. As I would hate to step on anyones toes.. thanks Mark

Hi Mark,

We'd ask you to register as a trader, I'll send you the details via PM.

Can you offer this as a posted service, or are you only looking to do this in your local area?

Ok trader sounds good, postage is not a problem, normal service is 2 working days turnaround, postage will be sent recorded for peace of mind and safety for owner of carbs etc.

Yep can put all jets etc through, only thing i would say is if im not happy with it when it comes out i put it in again,
This doesnt mean you will pay any more but i like things to be 100% , just might delay it a touch.
Seeing as im new here and nobody knows me here is my ebay feedback

Is it only carbs you can do or would the SPI injector be able to be cleaned this way, as i was recommended to have mine cleaned when i took it off the road due to a fueling issue which i have hopefully solved, if when i start it up again (hopefully this weekend!) and it isn't 100% then it may be worth doing if it is possible?

 

Thanks

Would definitely be interested, broke down again last night due to fuelling issues!

Sorry you would have to run injectors through a specialist injector cleaner that way they can be flow tested against manufacturers specifications

Okay, i did wonder when i saw the way it was done if they could actually be done due to the wire connected to the injector, thankyou anyway :)

How much for this set of twins? Would you do everything in the picture, including the manifold?

Also, how stripped do you want them?

Hi, yes i can do the manifold too no problem , i can put them in "as is" but normally its not as good , depends if you are rebuilding them anyway ?
you would be looking at £25 for the whole lot plus postage.
Cheers mark
