Bob, I cleaned a Zenith-Stromberg carb from a Spitfire with a gallon of carb
cleaner from my local auto parts store.  Worked great.  It had a basket
inside for dunking and soaking parts.

  Listers,

I bought some H6 carbs (from a TR2/3 originally) on eBay for parts for my
BN2.  The carbs are intact, but they are 
pretty gunked-up.  What is the List wisdom regarding cleaning up aluminium
without scratching or deforming?

TIA,
Bob
