It realy depends on how bad you want the carbs to shine. Its pot metal and pot metal can be plated but man it could be trouble after the plating is done the bike might look good but run good I don't know. Try polishing carb out very good before plating so you don't have to plate very long. Ten min. would be the longest I would plate due to any kind of build up, and no acid copper just 5 min. flash copper and 5 min. nickle maybe 10 min. nickle then chrome. You can take a hot glue gun and glue over the holes and this will help, make sure you put alot around the hole, and do this after the part is degreased and clean then glue the holes. Don't worry the glue will pull out easy thats why I said alot of glue around the hole.
