De-carboning a pipe?

(1/3) > >>

Good:
I'll admit I didn't search, but is there a good way I can de-carbon a pipe?  I understand the dents will still be there, but can I get rid of all that carbon buildup to make the scooter go faster? :mrgreen:

RoostDaddy:
this is basicly the same thing I've done, check out this site

I hate to say this out loud but I will anyway. When I was young 12-14 maybe, I would take the pipe from my rm100 and put it in a small brush pile fire for a bit and them tap it with a rubber hammer. It got an unbelievable amout of carbon out. A little red neck Im sure but me were farmers and had red necks!

SCKawi500:
never thought of that, I have used an old spedo cable frayed the end a little, a varible drill with extreme caution, can go haywire on you though could lose finger ,eyes and what ever else gets in the way.

1/2" sharp landscaping rocks. Put a few handfuls in with some soap and water and start shaking. I heard some old nuts and bolts work too! Just make sure you get them all out!
