Carb Cleaning "What do you think"

[egbrig]

Can these carbs be cleaned so I can get the most performance out of them?

Put them back in the sea where they came from.

I'd say they will be fine if you run a blend of staybil and seafoam through them. Sometimes a little corrosion adds freestyle throttle response.

OK I was seriously thinking about taking my ski to the ocean, now I've changed my mind.

You can do that with NO problems whatsoever. Just make sure you give your ski the proper Maintenance. Those carbs looked like they got flooded with water and someone just left them sitting there.....with the water in them!!!

my guess is no- but before I sentenced em to death I would want to see if all the screws and adjusters can be removed. if 99% of the crud is right there and the rest is overall much better, then give it a shot. but if its thru and thru like that, none of the jets will come out and the screws will break off. then they are parts carbs. Ive seen some pretty bad carbs clean up. I have seen some that I swear someone bead blasted the insides. but as long as everything turned and sealed and the carbs tuned on the ski- use em.:bananalama:

looks like a normal day at work for me. lol power wash them and see how bad they are. you mite be able to salvage them. stock yamaha 44's toss them. (from a 760)

 

[ryan]

took a better look at the pic. they are stock 44's from a 760. dump them and get a good set of tunable carbs.

 

[egbrig]

Good eye Ryan. They were going on an engine I'm building for Zimmy. I've got a good set of 44's (non 760) to replace them. What's funny is the carbs looked good externally, you would have never noticed that anything was wrong, but when I opened the diaphram, it looked like a day on the beach.

 

[ryan]

this is very common in salt water.

 

[kraqus]

mmmmmmm......my carbs don't look like that......

 

[Watcon]

No problem

I have fixed worse, but you must be on the "buddy list"...

 

[madscientist]

something breaks on my ski anytime it rides fresh water.

 

[masterblaster]

whats the diff in oem 760 44s and any other 44?
