I went to NAPA and got a gallon of their Xarb cleaner, which is
Methyl-Chloride. REAL nasty stuff, get a box of gloves and plan on using
most of them. I really only needed about a quart to do the job.
It took everything off and the carbs look brand new
On the otherhand it is REAL nasty stuff, lots of ventilation etc, etc, etc

Subject: Carburettor rebuild questions
While I'm waiting (patiently) for my weldor to get my diff reinforcement
brackets done, I am rebuilding the carbs. I have done this job on several
cars, but this time I want them to look as good as they run.
I'm not interested in powder coating them. Does anyone have tips on cleaning
the carb bodies and then preserving the look? Is there something that I can
soak them in or is a wire brush and lacquer thinner the way to go?
Thanks,
Peter
