Cleaning an aluminum carb
Here is one I cleaned in the Ultrasonic cleaner, 3 tablespoons of Pinesol and 2 gallons of distilled water. Heat the water in the Ultrasonic cleaner then run the bare carb in there at 10 minute intervals.
Keeping an eye on things, and removing that brown gum from the gasoline. Getting the brown gum off is a good place to stop, because you can leave them in too long and start turing the carb body gray.
You can peel that yellow brass plating off the steel parts too if you leave them in too long.
So yeah have to keep a close eye on it so you don't go too far.
The carb bodies with the shiny finish are the easiest to clean. The earlier aluminum Cast finishes are the ones you really have to be careful with as they will turn gray.
