Re-run: The lemon juice didn't work for me but maybe try and find some juice with more Vitamin C in it? I'm not really sure if the one I used was real or imitation but it didn't do much. I boiled mine on a hotplate outside. See if you can get it really boiling and use better lemon juice. I only tried it for thirty minutes but I moved it around a lot during that time.

And now I've heard of using brake cleaner to clean out the carbs so you don't ruin the rubber parts. Brilliant. I had no idea.

I am going to go find some place to make me some new brake lines for the front. I can't believe they are clogged. I figured the pressure from squeezing the lever would push anything through. I'm going to test the master cylinder on another brake hose also.
Any advice on how to get the master cylinder apart to clean it better?
