CARBURETOR DAY
Today I jumped into cleaning and assembling my carburetors, they’ve been sitting in a tub on my work bench just waiting for me. But I’ve been up to my ears in house painting, but today is the day!
I removed all the jets and broke the carbs down
MOST OF THE WAY, I did not want to disturb the throttle shaft seals and the butterfly plates, so I left that stuff in place.
All the small parts went into the hot tank ultrasonic cleaner, the carb body , I simply hosed off with carburetor spray cleaner and all the jets and passageways in the bowl and body were sprayed with carb cleaner and compressed air. I didn’t go crazy on these carbs, I didn’t polish anything, I just wanted clean and functional.
All the fuel lines were replaced with Tygon. I really like the hose clamps that Gary showed and I think I’m going to order some, but I didn’t have them today.
What I did have was safety wire.....Tebo, I totally stole your idea!
It works great!
So, I’ve got that done, one step closer. Hey a little informal survey here, what kind of spray can carb cleaner do you guys prefer? My choice is Barrymans B-12 Chemtool, today I was using Gunk carburetor spray....not a fan.
Don’t remember where I bought it, but I’m going back to Barrymans.
Later
