i found them really hard to get proper sparkly, even when they were fully disassembled. i had to leave them soaking in our parts cleaner (a mixture of jet fuel, kerosene and various other goodies) for a week, and even then they still took a good hours scrubbing before i was happy. depends how dirty they are suppose.

At 30 or 40 dollars each, i reckon carby rebuild kits are the go. Nothing hard about it, you just have to be organised and patient.

and for the jets i used the parts washer again, (i use it for everything!), followed by a really good blow out with compressed air.

picture is of the pair of them, obviously only one is done.

A can of gasket remover at $14 from Super Cheap does wonders in cleaning alloy and they don't need to be removed.

The rest of this car is just as impressive. 

Now that I think about it, all of Garys cars are that good, race car included!!
