What soap or solvent did you use in your ultrasonic cleaner? Those two black rubber tubes on the carb - are they vacuum lines? I just ordered some new vacuum line and fuel hose for my '83 GR650. Black for fuel and Blue for vacuum. When everything is black who knows what is what except the fuel line is 2 mm bigger. And what "lube" did you spray on the diaphragms? Was it a silicone spray or some other type spray?
Hi mate. I use about 15% #evaporust along with truck wash and concentrated degreaser at lower volumes. No change in alloy color, no damage to rubber, clears off all rust and converts it. Great start for cleaning. Vapor blasting is the only logical next step
I had to refresh my memory about vapor blasting so I checked out some TH-cam videos. When they talk about vapor blasting, they're talking about blasting soda dissolved in water to the saturation point. The problem with that is that the carburetor must be COMPLETELY disassembled. If anything like shafts are still in the carb then it will collect the blasting soda and pack it in. I haven't taken the carbs off to see their condition but I'll probably try using the ultrasonic cleaner first before turning this project into an all Summer affair. I'll have to check out the EvapoRust you suggested, too. That sounds like a good idea.
Me and my brother are working on his gr 650. For some reason he was riding it and it just all of the sudden bogged down and won’t start. Hoping a jet is clogged or something.

So what is the specific measurement of the float height? Pretty important information.
So you just eye ball the float height?

Might be a stuck valve. Generally carbs don’t clog immediatley but with no fuel filter on anything can happen keep me updated!
Have you figured out how to switch from high beam to low beam on your gr650? for some reason there is no switch.
