Default Re: Motorcycle carbs with brass inserts

My guess would be that the carbs. are aluminum, and you would need a Nitric acid bath to do that type of metal. Do your acid test to make sure what type of metal it is and then go from that. THe flash copper will work good for the first step and you shouldn't have to worry about the inside to much cause you don't want to plate more that about 10 minutes. YOu sure don't want any plating getting into the jet ports and the slide port due to the proper operation of the carb. So just plate 10 min. in the flash and 15 min. in the nickle.
