Pipe de- Carbon

(1/3) > >>

vaaprider:
What is the best way to de-carbonize the inside of the pipe?(Soak in oven cleaner maybe)

kxpegger:
I use some oven cleaner, lots of soap and a few handfuls of 1/2" sharp edge landscaping rocks from my front yard. Shake until clean or clean enough!

cbxracer30:
Our local hardware store carries wire brushes that attach to a drill motor , that will fit right into the head of a K5 pipe. I use this to clean the heavy build-up there and oven cleaner to get the rest. Ever since I started running my fuel mix at 70 to 1 no build-up at all. I was using PowerLube but will be switching to Moterrex.CBX

DoldGuy:
A friend had a vintage bike he was restoring and the pipe Hot Tanked & it looked like it was freshly stamped out at the factory inside & out. I do not know it's condition prior to, but was impressed with the end result.

vaaprider:
Thanks everyone
