Post tuning barrel clean up

[Snails]

Ok, I'm playing around with SR barrel (not like that!)
Cleaning up the ports etc
What's the best way ensuring I have all metal sandings out of there before reassembly?

Cheers

A rinse in fresh petrol & blow down with an airline always does it for me!!

I dont have an air line unfortunately - I already tried using a hair drier - not very effective.
I'll go with petrol rinse for starters though.

Spray it with engine cleaner then rinse with water from a hose pipe or even in the sink. You might get some flash rust in the cylinder but you can ignore that. Or clean it with WD-40 on a rag.

I also use the kitchen sink method, with a bit of ingenuity you can also rig up 2 hoses to squirt down the transfers at the same tim which will give you at least some indication of how the transfers flow.

Good rinse in a bucket of paraffin

Brake cleaner. Come as an aerosol it will clean all. I find its great for cleaning the crap of carbs also problem is its not cheap
