Primer or rust stopper?

As I clean up parts and put them back on I want to protect them because it may be some time before I give the tractor a full paint job. I was messing with the carb tonight and it's just covered in a film of rust on the outside. No paint is left on it at all.
What will clean the rust away, and prevent it from coming back, while at the same time prepping for paint? Will primer do that, or is there another product out there?

I am! I am! third party image I have to sand blast the lower radiator pipe at least. And the carb has nothing on it right now. So I wanted to protect these parts before I put them together so I can get it running. Also, I'm buying a new water jacket cover, and that is just bare metal.

Mike, There is only one way to properly prep parts for painting. First remove all old paint, grease etc. Then treat witht rust remover, metal prep solution. DuPont seel theirs under the name 'Metal Prep'. It's an acid wash followed by rinse. Then for tin you apply one coat of epoxy primer. This is waterproof, but should be covered with regular primer within two days. For cast iron you can coat with regular primer-surfacer only. But that is NOT waterproof and should be kept indoors until paint is applied. SO...you must either go all the way to paint with these parts or leave them alone until you start painting. Cleaning them up, and not painting them is the worst thing you can do. Save your time and effort, and get the thing running!

You can also keep a can of Rust-O-Leum red around and shoot what you have cleaned up. A little rust just makes a good surface for the paint to hold to, and the fish oil in the Rust-O-Leum will prevent additional oxidation. A light coat is what you want.

I don't know what your carb body is made of, but I found a good product for iron. Found it at Home Depot, in the paint section. It's a dilute phosphoric acid solution, sells under the brand name Jasco. Light green in color and comes in a cylindrical quart bottle. It converts iron oxide to a black surface of iron phosphate and has the same general effect as bluing on a gun barrel. I've had no trouble with any number of paint types adhering to it. Like any paint or primer, it would require scuffing if allowed to harden before laying a new coat on top of it.

many paint stores carry that type of product. I use one called Ospho green in color 21 $ a gallon. I use it on all parts before I primer it.
