Alrighty so im new to the forums but not new to buells i helped rebuild my old mans xb 2 times! He is known as (thrstmech) on here. I bought a blast a few weeks ago in pretty sad shape, by sad i mean spray painted hacked up sun faded etc. Anyways i have since pulled her completly apart with the help of my dad and we have found minor problems along with severe carbon build up on the piston and head. The carb has had work done to it most likely rejetted, fuel elbow replaced with max flow elbow and adjusted for the v&h pipe. Whats the best route to take to get the build up off? I have done searches around but seeing what some people are suggesting (mist water/seafoam into carb)i want other options and or opinions. The cylinder seems to be fine i can still see factory hone marks and such, the underside of the piston is really clean no damage at all havnt looked at the rings yet. Sorry for a long post just wanted to give some background on the bike and such. Hope someone can help out. Thanks!
