Becasue I split the tarctor there are a few other things I am doing simultaneously.

I read a message post in which someone stated they hot soaked their carb and it cleaned up beautifully (picture was immaculate).

However, at the end they noted not to soak the brass parts and to disassemble first.

What brass parts should I not soak (unsure of what on my carb is brass because it is all so black and trashy?

The message also said to take apart before soaking...How far should I break it down?

I have access to one of these hot bath soaks for parts at a manufacturing plant and want to clean it that way.

Didnt say it in my last post but thanks to all you guys and girls out there. Couldnt do this stuff (or at least without making it worse)without you!

If you hot tank it check fisrt about the brass. I've seen some that didn't hurt the brass and others that do. Always ask questions before you do things it keep you out of trouble.

Goat, after reading all the replies I wonder if you wouldn't be just as well off to buy a gallon of carburetor cleaner from the auto parts store and soak it in there. You'd have to remove any parts that were not metal. Rubber seals, etc. It won't hurt the brass. I had great luck with the stuff but it is foul. No carb problems in over a year. I didn't remove the main jet because it wouldn't come out easily and I didn't want to tear it up.

Here's the picture again. Anything brass you see there was not on the carb when it was tanked. I have no idea if the tank solution used would eat brass or not. Since I wasn't sending any brass parts I didn't ask.

If the chemicals used attack brass, all the jets, the trottle and choke shafts, and the brass tag would have to come off, or be destroyed. I think some carbs even have brass rivets holding the float support in place.

However, IIRC, the photo you mentioned showed a carb with the brass plate in place, undamaged, so maybe the hot tank solution his was soaked in doesn't bother brass?

That was my post. I stripped everything out of the carb and sent just the top and bottom cast iron housings to the tank. Not all tanks are the same. Depending on the caustics used some may not eat brass at all. Talk to the shop about what metals are safe in their tank(s). Aluminum in particular. Also, those castings were shot blasted after the came out of the tank. That may or may not be SOP at your shop. If you install a complete rebuild kit (shafts, seals, etc.) you will have the equivalent of a commercially rebuilt unit for a good bit less money.

HTH,

TOH

P.S. When you get the parts back blow out all passages with 90+ psi shop air and wash in warm soapy water to remove all traces of slag and loose debris before installing the parts from the kit.
