Title: hangers, jets etc ?
Post by: PMD1969 on May 27, 2013, 09:14:49 AM

I have a 68 Qjet apart and I am still looking around for  place to get the body pieces clean up and a bolt removed.  I still need to clean the tarnish off of the hangers, jets, other brass looking parts.  Can I use CLR? or is there something better?

I just did my carb and I used Pine Sol.  Bought a 1.5 gallon from Home Depot and a small bucket.  Used the whole 1.5 gallons of Pine Sol and added water to completely submerge the carb parts.  I think I left it in for 2 or 3 days.  It doesn't completely strip the gunk and carbon, but it does make it very easy to just wipe off.  I was really surprised at how well this worked.  It also removed any minor surface rust.

I have a big jug of that stuff o I'll give it a try.  It sure does stink so it is something I have used in volume and had to air out the garage.  Next time I'll put that in the backyard!  A little bit for carb parts I should be okay lol.
