b. Cleaning Carburetor Parts
Regardless of the number of new parts that
are used in r
ebuilding
a carburetor, the job in
the end will not be
satisfactory
unless all metal
parts are thoroughly cleaned. Because of the na-
ture of carburetor parts, with numerous small
passages subject to fouling with tenacious car-
bon and gum deposits, ordinary cleaning proc-
esses are entirely inadequate. The
correct
pro-
cedure
is t
o
use
a
cleaning bath in which metal
parts can be im
mersed an
d
"soaked" for suffi-
cient
ti
me after disassembly to
thoroughly
clean
all
surfaces
and passages.
Bendix Carburetor Cleaning Solvent has been
developed especially for cleaning carburetors,
and is recommended for this purpose. Regard-
less of the cleaning material
used,
however, be
sure to thoroughly rinse the parts in
kerosene,
distillate, or wh
ite
gasoline to remove all
