Being single with a house full of kids that don't know any better, I often
use the dishwasher for cleaning parts. Mostly just the stuff that has some
loose accumulation of stuff that will come off in the washer. Never tried it
on carbs. For the tough greasy 30+ years stuff though it may not be
sufficient. Then you have to resort to more conventional approaches. Like
hand scrubbing it in the bathtub :-) But as long as you're going to be
rebuilding and replacing gaskets, O rings, etc. What could it hurt to try?

Hi Listers,
a colleague mentioned he knows a guy who puts his carbs through the
dishwasher and that the method really de-gunges them. Has anyone tried
this? My good Lady has indicated she would be happy for me to try this in
the DW, as long as the carbs were in there by themselves.
I have a set of 3 x Weber 40 DCOEs I need to clean up before I install them
in my GT6!!!
Thanks in advance.
Jon
