November 2, 200619 yr This is another one of those terms that didn't make it across the pond. I for one had never heard of de-coking, I thought he must have meant de-corking as in removing a restrictor that come in the pipe, of course the Beta 80 has none. From the other responses I now gather he is talking about getting the carbon build up out. Do you guys over there call carbon, coke?
November 3, 200619 yr Where would you purchase Castic soda from? Last time I bought some it was from a local hardware store but thats all the way over here in Blighty I`d only guess it`d be the same over there? used too come in a box as powder form. But as I say it`s been a long while since I bought any! got good old caustic tanks at work now but they are a little more agressive!
November 4, 200619 yr Used to use Castic soda on my TY50P exhaust many moons ago just to keep up with the FS1E's, no i'm not talking another language i'd say a few readers would know where i'm comming from........ Castic soda will clean the gunk from exhausts but in my experience not the carbon side just the 2t gunky residue, and these days a good degreaser would be safer......... Has any one tried the "Carbon Clean" stuff that the 4wheel brigade use instead of dismantling their over engineered engines????
November 6, 200619 yr Fire in the Hole..... Removed the center pipe, added a little lighter fluid and fired it up. Once it got going it burned for a good 20 minutes.
November 6, 200619 yr Crazy stuff! looks fun and I can`t stop laughing at they pic`s! you`ll have too let us know if it made any differnce, Thing i`d worry about doing it that way is burning all the sound dampening out?
November 6, 200619 yr I'll let you all know how it goes when I fire it up. I looked inside and it looked like the stuff was still in there. I couldn't find a caustic soda so a guy at the local shop said that's the way he does the MX bikes.
