Good tip on the paint. Do you have a pic of how that turned out?

I’m not really worried about how it looks, but almost all of the original coating is long gone and I’d like a little bit of protection for the bare casting.

I had thought about polishing brass bits, chickened out thinking that if removing even a wee bit of material on a critical internal might affect running.

Both the idle “tube” and the main jet the rod fits into were removed for cleaning in this process.

Side note: Definitely a lot more going on design-wise in the YF than the B. A more sophisticated machine. Really anxious to see how those differences translate on a running engine.
