If scrubbing the carb doesn't clean it up, you can get all 4 soda blasted (matte finish) or vapor blasted (kinda shiney)

Hi,

There's a difference between just copying the text and copying the link location. The forum software abbreviates longer links. Just bookmark my little website, you'll find a lot of what you need there.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Some people just spray down the carbs with WD40 immediately after removing from the boiling water and drying. Won't do much for the appearance but will discourage the oxidation.

WOW!!! You guys opened up the dam on me!! VERY appreciative... I am actually going by the carb cleaning series that is provided on the GSR site (I believe that's Ed's procedure).. I just heard about the boiling and thought I would add that to the mix just to try it out.. I will sifting through all these additional resources you all have given me, BassCliff, your site looks to be quite a useful tool in and of itself. I was blown away at the site of your full color wiring diagrams!! Rest assured mine will be printed out on 11X17 first thing monday morning!!!

Many Many Thanks You Guys!!

added note: on the caps and bowls, I ran over to Lowe's Hardware and bought a buffing wheel that attaches to a bench grinder and a stick of dry polishing compound and I am easily able to buff out caps and bowls to a high mirror shine even the middle two dull ones. I've only done two but I'll get some pics up soon..

My tutorial has already been linked by others, and is contained in my signature. Apparently, you haven't check the links as provided.
