| Post subject: | carb rebuilding Q (general) |
I happen to have 2 TQs apart as we speak, but this could apply to any carb; How do you guys clean your carbs while apart? I never liked the idea, but I know several people that like to bead blast their parts; I never liked the idea, for several reasons; I know that glass bead is "easier" on aluminum than either silica sand or "Black Beauty" (coal slag) but I doubt that you can get "every little bit" out, meaning its still there to wear shafts, get into the engine etc. Paranoia??? I did experiment on a junk base plate, and it does look nice, cleaned it up w'o much noticeable distortion to gasket surfaces, etc. |

No bead blasting, just in carb dip. You don't want to take off all the alodine/anodizing. |

bout what I thought; but thought I'd ask just because so many people do; these ones I have apart at hand, have no coating; (look at the rusty linkage!) I've redone lots of carbs, and have always "dunked" them. |
