Carb cleaning

<< < (5/5)

Cliff Ruggles:
I NEVER bead blast main castings and put them back in service without giving them a "bath" to color them like the factory did.  I see a lot of folks bead blasting or chemically cleaning them then back in service.  All "remanufactured" carbs I've seen are done that way, all finish removed then reassembled and sold. 

I not sure how well the bare castings will hold up in this new fuel as the ethanol can be very hard on certain types of metal like the cheap castings Holley uses for their Street Avenger series carburetors........

Burd:
I like the gallon my mechanic got me, it doesn’t take the color off, just the varnish.  That’s all I want to remove
