Re: Best way to clean a carb
This is just my opinion and others will probably disagree. Stay away from the carb parts dip. Get some heavy duty detergent type kitchen degreaser (smart & final) and hot water. Use the degreaser full strength with various brushes and scrub the disassembled parts. Soak the small ones then brush with a stiff tooth brush. rinse with the hot (hot) water and blow it dry with compressed air. Then use aerosol can gumout to spray the small passages clean. Use "The Must For Rust"® for the rusty spots. Reassemble per instructions.
