i had bought an ultrasonic cleaner for doing these carbs and everything has been in it, it has done a great job.
most fixings were rusty or oxidised in some way, so i spent the time and used the wire wheel to clean them all up... even the tiny stuff...and don't my finger ends know about it!!
here is parts stripped, ultra sonic cleaned/wire wheeled .. I'm taking bodys for vapour blasting tomorrow and fixings zinc plating... il post pictures when they are back in about a week,

Another fine mess I've got myself into!
Looks like the inner part of the fuel cap to me Mark
Z1-R D1, Z650 B2, Z1-B & ZRX 1200 A1P Catch 'em if you can at www.Zedrider.co.uk
correct, its the under part of the fuel cap.
the guys said there was a minimum charge and seen as i had a handful of bolts i removed parts i wasn't happy with to make it up.
amazingly all the bits for zinc plating was only £20
vapourblasting was £30,
sounds like a bargin to me... and very encouraging they had picture of an immaculate GT750 and an RD on the wall they had done the work on, lets see how they come back!
