That's quite impressive... Not bad at all.

I have never had to do a multi-carb O/B but I have done many other carbs including multi-carb motorcycles......with a can of carb cleaner and a few bristles from a wire brush (to poke through the small passages that are full of gunk) you can have it done in no time.
