    Great advice guys. I appreciate it šŸ˜. Yup. I did notice that 2 of my float bowls are super shinny and the other 2 are kinda dull. Iā€™ll get out the sand paper and polish and see if I can buff them. Hmmm. Thank you.

      They came like that from the factory. The shiny ones were on #1 and #4, where they are visible from the sides. The "dull" ones were inside on #2 and #3 where they are not really visible.

      Factory saved 50% on polishing time / materials! Only a bean-counter would have thought that one out!

          Iā€™ve had luck with my medical grade ultrasonic cleaner doing carbs with a 50/50 mix of Pinesol and water.
          Get the ā€œrealā€ Pinesol and not an off brand and you should be good
