Cleaning some main motorcycle parts

Cleaning motorcycle parts can be tough from time to time. For example, cleaning rusted motorcycle fuel tank can be quite challenging. Besides cleaning the actual motorcycle part it’s also recommended to pay attention on the other accompanying tiny motorcycle parts. Let’s start with cleaning:

Fuel Tank. Fuel tanks in most cases get rusted when the there’s fuel inside siting for a long time. We have already discussed how to clean rusted motorcycle fuel tank and we won’t talk about again. The only suggestion we have here is to invest in new motorcycle part called inline fuel filter (of course if you don’t have one yet).  This filter can stop the dirt and rust going through the jets and you’ll save yourself from having engine problem.

Carburetor. Use Yamaha carb cleaner or boil your carburetor in a lemon juice for 20 minutes and blow out all the passageways. The main and idle jets can be cleaned with guitar wire. When installing the carburetor checks that there are no air leaks on the intake tube. Air leaks can lean out the fuel mixture causing a misfire.

Filters. Make sure the air filter is clean. There is also a fuel filter on the fuel petcock valve inside the fuel tank; it’s possible to be plugged up. And tank air vent needs to be clear.

Connections. Clean all the electronic ignition connections with electronic spray cleaner.
