After putting the carbs back together and bolting them up not only do they look great but the bikes running MUCH better with all the jet passages finally cleaned out.

Someone, perhaps here on KZR a while back, mentioned some sort of Yamaha dip that the carb assembly can be dunked into without removing anything.
I'm listening.... haha

do you think vinegar would be a sufficient substitute for lemon juice?
Boiling vinegar is nasty. You will gag as it will irretate your throat. If you did it and I am not sure if you can it would have to be done outside...Russ

What about jets? Can I just soak them in carb cleaner? Will any sort of solvent work?

I was planning on doing any sort of carb boiling outside. Shit, I may just have to invest in an ultrasonic cleaner... haha.

Use this stuff you can get it at Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts. It is by far the best product I have found. BERKEBILE 2+2® GUM CUTTER
