muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

Muriatic acid works great for cleaning metal but as stated before, it is HARSH. I would recommend trying on a trash carburetor first and maybe do component by component. It might work on corrosion on steel parts such as throttle blades and shafts, it might be too harsh on like a zinc body of a holley (maybe)
. Maybe by diluting it you can just leave it soaking for a few min at a time but it's all going to be testing so start on a carb you don't mind throwing away first.
