The restoration of a 1972 Honda CT70 K1 Mini Trail

I had one of these bikes as a kid so I wanted another to restore and add to our collection. This is how it was done. Part #2 of 2

I saw you did your carburator like in a friemaker (don't know the word in english) with petrol in it or what? did you actually turned it on or?

@siementj To clean the carburetor I use a Ultrasonic cleaning machine with cleaner added to it. Works perfectly. It has heat in it as well.
