BMW R60/7 restore/build

So had a problem with the throttle sticking open again the other day so finally got around to putting the right carb in the ultrasonic cleaner (I made a video about the cleaning tank that I linked in another post). While it was better, the throttle still want ideal, so I dismantled both carbs and hand polished the throttle slide with t-cut paste until it looked like new.  Unfortunately i didn't take a picture. I've done around 50 miles since without any problems at all.

Had to use the reserve fuel tap for the first time recently which resulted in a while lot of rusty crap from the bottom of the tank getting into one of the carbs. The result was the float valve getting stuck open and fuel pissing out of the overflow all over the hot exhaust and my boot. As it happened I was at a busy junction in heavy traffic at the time, so the potential fireball would have made the news! Will get the tank sorted in due course, but in the interim have decided to fit some inline filters.

I made a review video of the ultrasonic cleaning tank I bought and used on the carbs
