I will have a few questions along the way. Just a place to consolidate them:
Some of the parts are encrusted in white crap that I don’t recall seeing on other carbs I’ve had apart. For example...the check ball inside the accelerator pump aluminum assembly. Also the check weight in the top of mid section of the carb. I presume remnants of ethanol perhaps?
I pulled everything apart and boiled the three main body sections in a heavy solution of dish soap. About an hour. This definitely softened the crud somewhat. I also have a paint can full of lacquer thinner for carb soaking, but wondering if some sort of acidic substance might be needed for this.
Any tips/hints?
