It may be just a hobby but brakes are a safety item and to me the most important piece of the puzzle to have working perfectly, otherwise I agree, its just a hobby. If the stuff that is in there is b

Check www.triumphspitfire.com. They have done a couple of articles on this carb being used on a Spitfire. There's a company that advertises on their site, www.prirace.com I think, that makes Mikuni

I too use Evaporust and find it to work very well on rusted parts, best to clean up parts with a wire brush if possible first. I think I have a few pieces soaking in it as I type. For a parts cleaner
