Never drink coke!
Discussion
I'm trying to resurrect my old Monster 600 which has been sitting in my garage for 7 years. The carbs were rather gummed up.
I didn't have any carb cleaner to hand but tried soaking them overnight in freash petrol which did nothing. I then tried thinners and WD40 - same result. I then tried something I'd heard about but didn't really expect it to work, Coca-Cola. 5 minutes submerged in cheap coke and the goo fell off the carbs. What is in that stuff?

Keep drinking coke everyone, my living depends on it
Place I worked for 22 years had a great canteen which I used to buy between 3-4 cans a day, my dentist used to get quite indignant with me because of my coke (not that sort) intake causing filings every 6 months. Keep drinking coke everyone, my living depends on it
He once said, nice gums, shame about the teeth john.
Try it in an ultrasonic cleaner for carb parts. You don't need all the fancy lotions and potions recommended.
If you've got an old tank which is rusty inside, fill it with coke and harpic, leave over night, wash out with parafin or the like and it'll be like new inside.
Got a load of old rusty bits n bobs, stick in a bowl of the above mix overnight and wash of. Job done.
Coke/harpic is the best rust remover I've found.

On Day 1 they made us recruits drag a pissed off and old ram out of the firing range. The marsh was up to my f
king knees. Then I sat in it all day in about 2 degrees, in my ill-fitting gear, only really getting the jist of what I was being told by some incomprehensible Scottish Corporal, who reeked of Tennants from the night before. This was before the obligatory 11am, steaming, piss weak tea, whilst we compared stories about sexually transmitted infections.
Needless to say this wasn't covered by the pre-selection officer "experience" at Sandhurst.
Army not for me. Gimpy though. Tracer rounds. fking great fun.
