Carb Body Cleaning
Have a pair of Weber 40 DCOE carb's to strip & rebuild for a mate who is building
Any tricks for cleaning up the bodies of the carb's ?
Be good to get a nice finish and have been reading a thread on another forum about using Baking Soda and an Air gun
Which seems to have worked really well
Anybody tried it ?
Cheers

get rid of any black gunge with carb cleaner and a toothbrush before blasting. Soda blasting is very effective, but wear H&S breathing gear.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Do you think a dish washer will do a cylinder head?
Also heard about the baking soda but buying inquantity seems to be difficult for me to source locally.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.
