Interesting means of cleaning a carb
Howdy, everybody.
I posted this in another thread and the reception was ‘Just buy a Chinese Carburetor.’ I think they misunderstood the intent, which was to rebuild the one I have on a dime without compromising the originality of the build.
The fellas over on the other thread helped me identify the Carter with precision so my posting of the carb is for reference of its condition. The following video is of a gentleman using muriatic acid to rid the mechanism of grime, rust, and other harmful hindrances to the operation of the machine.
Have any of you tried this on a carburetor? This process DILUTES the acid to keep from eating the thing up so please take a moment to hear the fellow out prior to dismissing him. I really want to tackle another build without simply purchasing or replacing the engine (which seems to be the common response towards the loyal /6’ers). Let me know what you think!
You have all been a tremendous help in my learning process. I am grateful to you all.
