Dirty Carbs suck!

[Roostabunny]

I'm trying to keep as much of the dirt out of the dip as possible. I think i'm just going to give myself a stiff neck in the long run though.

My neck's hurting just reading this. :-D

At $20/Can for the dip it's one trip to the chiropractor - even if it's covered by your insurance. The dip's like elbow grease in a can.

yeah it's $30 where I got the berryman's chem dip and $25 for the chiro co-pay.. hmmmm

lmao I just threw carb 4 in there tonight and I think i'm going to go backwards 4 then 3, 2, 1. Right to left. I figure the more hand work I do on these, the better they are going to come out in the end. I'll post pics tomorrow when I put carb 4 back together, we'll see how well it went!

Please take them apart BEFORE they go into your parts washer.

If you're absolutely CERTAIN that the solvent is completely friendly to rubber and plastic, then never mind.

But attacking assembled carbs with various cleaning potions is an excellent way to ruin those oh-so-delicate and incredibly expensive thin rubber slide diaphragms.

Amen... Also, when scrubbing with brushes, be aware that the carb bodies are magnesium, pretty soft metal. I used an old "HARD" toothbrush on mine, and they look pretty darn good now. And dont be afraid to use some old fashioned soap and water on em. You are after all going to dip them anyway, and you'll need to rinse with water after that too. The first set of carbs i ever did, i left sitting after pulling them out of the dip. That stuff dries to a nasty sticky goo. And I had to start all over again Oh well, live and learn. Oh..and another thing I learned. When you go sticking the lil red straw for the carb spray in the various holes, wear some safety glasses. Those holes come around in suprising places, and somehow, they all seem to aim right at your eyes. Krikey! Like a spitting cobra...have a go at that mate! heh..
