Hello everyone,

My carbs emerged from a box today after 10 years idle.  (No, not idling).
Roger G. advised me that new kits wouldn't hurt so I'm prying open my
wallet as we speak. :-)

I guess I'll bring my next question up with the entire group:  What do you
use to clean carbs?  I remember when I was in high-school, I "rebuilt" the
carburetor on the 351 Cleveland.  I used mineral spirits or some such and
a toothbrush.  The toothbrush wasn't very effective because it began to
dissolve.  It didn't remove much crud and in the end I was left with some
leftover parts and the sneaking suspicion that I hadn't done any good.

Any suggestions on cleaning solvents, tools, techniques?

Thanks in advance,

Jim
