the previous owner pretty much neglected the cleaning side of things, he forked out decent money for the rims, but never cleaned them, now it has many rust spots around them, specially on the deep dish on the rear, i purchased some mothers chrome polish, it made the chrome come up shiney, but didnt remove the small spots.

any ideas?

Brasso?? I had polished SSRs with the same problem on my sprinter. Got on the brasso or similar (it was a mild cutting compount of some description, name escapes me at the mo) and that got rid of 99% of the rust, then polished the rims up and it came up good as gold. Might be something to give a shot.

so what did you use Craig?

first used the brasso to take all the muck off with a rough side of an old sponge, then buffed it to a shine with mothers chrome polish.

theyre all nice and shiney now.

mines have little spots of tarnishing, like little grey patches in the chrome, anyone got ideas for that?

I've made stainless steel on the bike look like chrome with this stuff....recommended by chromers & pro polishers.

Where would it be easiest to find that stuff Pete?

This is were I got it from but there should be other paint supply shops around if you live out north.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
