Following up on my emulsion tube issue this week:
These carbs were purchased from Webercarbsdirect.com and were represented as genuine Webers. They are not. They are Chinese knock-offs. The retailer refuses to take them back. You've been warned! Do everyone a favor and spread this around to help others from getting screwed. |

Elliot,
I'm not the first to say it but I'm the last to repeat it: Pine-Sol. It works brilliantly for carburetors and aluminum/brass/magnesium in general. I've cleaned many a motorcycle carb and a pair of Weber IDFs using Pine-Sol and a small ultrasonic cleaner. If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, just drop your carbs into a bucket with 50/50 Pine-Sol to water solution and wait. Pro-tip: Do this in your garage or outside because it stinks to hell. Also, cats, women, and political conservatives hate the smell in particular. Another pro-tip: don't buy knock-off dollar store pine-sol, just the real stuff. Why? Pine-Sol is basically low-grade turpentine (pine alcohol!) and phuric acid. The dollar store variety is a swill of lumberjack urine and gelatin. Let your parts soak for perhaps a day. Maybe two. It eats paint, grease, and grime, but generally leaves everything else alone. Then just rinse it off, clean with a toothbrush, and you're ready to rebuild. Low cost, low labor, and low toxicity. Just drain it when you're done. Or wash down your driveway with it like I do to clean up *ahem* 914 oil stains. No need to recycle at the hazmat center. Having said that, Pine-Sol will not automatically transmogrify your "Asian" Webers into Italian models. What happened to Dellortos Joe asks?
