Advice please on rebuilding a 2005 Monster

I'm very strict with my biscuits. I have exactly two chocolate Hobnobs every day as a special treat when I get home from work... I can eat only one Pringle too..

We'll have to sort a time to view this gestating Monster, I think Dacs and Grumpy would like a look too, so could be quite a party?

Regarding the injectors; 30 minutes in the tank should do the trick.
Regarding the fuel pump, not sure that ultra-sound cleaning would be ideal? But probably wouldn't do any harm provided it was thoroughly dried out afterwards, as the cleaning medium is mostly water. A quick dunk in some clutch and brake cleaner afterwards should get rid of the water come to think of it.
The best thing might be to just immerse it in clean fresh petrol to soften any residues, then just circulate them round in normal use, relying on the new filter* to catch anything thus loosened? Or in other words, just use it.

Any thoughts on that from the UKMOC think tank?

*Fuel filter = Mahle KL145. This is also a common BMW fitment, often listed a bit cheaper for beemers? Try Opie Oils, but shop around.
