I sandblasted the carb on my H with great results. It really gets the crud out. Bead blasting (glass) is an even safer way to do it. I used #3 grit sand which is finer than usual and it doesn"t pit the cast iron or brass pieces as much. I also put masking tape on the mating (gasket) surfaces. Don"t worry about an accelerator pump on this carb. It doesn"t have one.

The nice thing about the H carb is that the passages that meter fuel are removable and come in a good carb kit. Take out the main and idle jets and you have a clear view of any place grit or scale could give any problems. I prefer to spray carb cleaner that comes in an aerosol can through all the holes in the two halves to flush out any dust and/or grit left on them. Once it dries off, paint some rust-inhibiting primer on them or your carb will turn iron-oxide red instead of Farmall red. I have seen some H carbs at shows that have been blasted then sprayed with clear laquer. That"s certainly a unique effect.
