Carb Jet cleaning with Lemon Juice
A few days ago I posted a thread regarding cleaning my carb jets by boiling them in Yamaha carb cleaner. This doesn't/didn't sound like a great idea but others had done it so I figured why not. I was then presented with the option of boiling the jets in lemon juice as a safer, more eco friendly option and tried it out since I couldn't find my bottle of yamaha cleaner.
Here are the jets before.. To me (the untrained eye) doesn't look too bad.

Here are the jets after.. Definitely cleaner so I guess I'm a believer now.

awww, yamalube combustion chamber cleaner works so well. It is barely flammable, too. And when you heat it with a mini torch, the jets get REALLY clean. Not saying yours aren't clean, just not as clean 
not that it matters, the ethanol fuels take care of that quite rapidly.
