[QUOTE="Colorado, post: 977198, member: 60368"] I don't have the manual, and don't want to spring for it this week (the wife's angry that I brough another project home). I decided to just forego the injection for now, as I don't plan to pull the bike up at any gas pumps anyway. I pulled the carb and did a chem-dip cleaning, then blasted the tiny little pilot jet out of my fingers with compressed air and lost it. When I took the slide out I found out someone had crimped a sleeve end to the throttle cable, so the ratio between the throttle and injector were probably wrong anyway, so I'm just going to have a new single cable made. It makes more sense for me to run premix anyway, as everything else I have uses it except my daughter's XR100, which I'm hoping to sell if this DT works for her. I did about a two hour chem-dip, and the alluminumn came clean, but the brass still looked bad. Is there something else I can use to attack brass corrosion? Laquer thinner or something? Silver polish? I remember a comercial years ago on TV where they dipped a penny in something and it came out bright and shiny. Nobody stocks the pilot I need, so I'll have to order it. In the meantime I can clean up a few other things. The steel tank is rusty inside, but not really bad. Any ideas on that? I know they sell an epoxy coating, but it's almost $80, and I don't want to spend that. Any thoughts on sloshing some epoxy garage floor paint around in there? [/QUOTE]
