With all the carb.s I've been doin' for people, finished and returned to owners, I decided that since it was quiet at the house...(wife is at the daughters place, babysitting for the week-end), That I would break open the carb. that I have for a backup, just to see how bad it is on the inside.

This is a pic. of what I found!!!!! OH YIPPY!!!

Guess I'll be ordering another full overhaul kit for this one too. Darn, I thought I could get away with just a cleaning. Don't look that way.

Someone has been in there with a bulldozer for a scewdriver. The economizer jet is frozen in the rust and one side of it look as if it has been pried on pretty good, with something. The idle jet don't look much better.!!! Oh well, back to the work bench!!!!

Have an "N" day!!!

Gary :)

Gb, I've done em way worse than that. About two minutes in a bead blaster will fix this carb and look new again. I take all the jets out and have at it. The threads do get a little rough but the jets screw in just fine witha little bit more effort. I bead blasted one last night and found a darn hairline crack where the screened elbow screws into the fuel feed port. People unfortunately for some reason feel like they gotta torqe these fuel fittings down.

Not bad by the standards of some I have repaired. They often come with 1/4" of rust and gum in the bowl, collapsed floats, boogered jets and float seat on and on. All boogered jets and float seats come out easily with a little heat and a small screwdriver, the cast parts clean well with a bead blaster. Mating surfaces clean up with sand paper on a flat steel plate, order parts as needed and repair.

I've had real good luck with the PB Blaster, for breakin' everything loose, and before I put a carb. back together, I soak it in fine machine oil. The kind that I use for air tools.! It seems to hold the rust from returning. Then I blow the carb. with air and wipe it down good.

The only carb. I won't do anymore is that Re-Pop they are sellin' as Ident. as original 241 B. I spent four days on one of those, and vowed I'd never do another one. Threds in the main was buggerd, and the fuel adjustment needle hole was out of threds in the bottom. What a piece of doodoo!!!!

Never tried vin. on those, might give it a try sometime.

I have a 241 that has whooped me for a few years,,, I mess with it from time to time,,, bout the time the governor will pull in with a load of ya let out on the clutch it will spit and die just like ya turned the ignition switch off,,, I run a bask up on it now and was hope'in the carb would somehow fix its self,,, I got around to mess'in with again a few weeks ago,,, Econ jet would not come out,,, ran a drill bit in it and daggum iffin it did'n come out,,, problem is a new'n won't tighten up and now I can not git it out,,, put'er on the back burner for now

you mite try vinegar on the rust,,, fill the bowl and let it set a few days are soak it in vinegar,,, one thang I like about the vinegar is unlike a acid treatment the rust will not come back,,, I have not tried vin on a carb but have had good luck on other thangs with it,,,, if you git a carb or shut off valve that has gummy tar like fuel residue try soak'n in brake fluid,,, the BK will loosen the tar were nuttin else will,,, if i had used my head I should have soaked the 241 I have in vinegar,,, it was rite rusty and i spec the rust had some'n blocked,,,, I mite have talked my self into the vin trick,,, I have a good test piece on the bench

Hobo---I have used vinegar baths for removing old paint and rust off of tools that I wanted to refinish.

That worked really good----post back with the results if you try it on the carb---the vinegar bath results in a kind of a gooey sediment off the tools, so I imagine you'd have to make sure all of that goo was removed somehow----

Maybe a vinegar bath, followed by a rinse in the carb. soup and then dried off with compressed air.

Morning Tim;

This is what I use on most of the carb's:

third party image

Usually let them soak for 24 hrs. But.... if they are not too bad, soak them for 3 hrs, then spray them with PB Blaster and use a Dremel with a cone brush. That usually cleans them up pretty good, unless they are really buggerd up!!!!

Sounds to me like you got the crappy weather back there too. It was just 48 deg. F here two days ago. Right now it is 22 deg., and falling.

Stay warm.

Gary :shock:

Morning Gary---your post reminded me that I have a carb sitting in the garage to rebuild----what kind of carb "soup" have you been using for cleaning out your carbs?

We have had 75+ inches of snow this year and early this morning it started raining hard---supposed to change to rain/sleet mixture and then to snow---dumping another 3-12" depending on where you are in SE WI.

Good day to open up the carb----Tim
