Carburetor Rebuilding - Oldskoolcarbs

[54inches]

Did you ever clean the carbs with soda or chemicals before you used the ultrasonic method? How does it fare?

One small comment on the website; I would get rid of the cursive font and go with something more readable.

Otherwise good work!

i still use soda(soda blaster), spray carb cleaner in cans for all the passages and the ultrasonic..
i used the one gallon dip can when i started years ago, but it wasn't very long before the EPA told them to "weaken" them...

Have used Oldskool carbs before. Probably about a year and a half ago and was very satisfied. The guy called me to discuss jetting and such during the rebuild. I was quite surprised. Breath of fresh air with the customer service you see today. I would use his service again. Nice guy to talk to. 2 thumbs up.

Thanks Rick! I have been debating on whether to pickup a small ultrasonic from HF, but ihave a nice soda setup and big compressor from TPTools/Quincy. I do a lot stuff in the shop but it is just personal, for now.

Thanks again!

SODA IS JUST FOR THE HEAVY TARNISH INSIDE BOWLS AND outside... those ultrasonic cleaners from harbor don't cut it... the crest dual sweep model i have was about $900 when i bought it.. the outstanding thing i like about the ultrasonic is that you can put EVERYTHING in it,, plastic rubber, etc ... will not damage it

I just had my carbs done by Rick and I couldn't be happier. He called and emailed several times to update me on things and to discuss my setup....pipes, etc. His work is top notch and they look killer. Thanks again Rick.....I'm sure I'll have more to send you in the future.
