Carb cleaning tip, what not to do

[Keith0alan@aol.com]

Hello all,

       Puttering with SU carbs today and found an excellent example of what 
not to do. When cleaning the inside of the dome and piston DO NOT USE 
SANDPAPER. They are precision honed and matched as a dome piston pair, so, also 
make 
sure that you don't mix them up. Carb cleaner and a rag or paper towel work 
fine 
for cleaning. Carquest brand of carb cleaner seems to work the best. 
       The result of the sandpapered dome and piston? With the same air flow 
it only raises about half as high as a good one.
