<VV> CARB / PARTS IN GENERAL CLEANING

[corvairduval at cox.net]

While at Wally World, pick up their spray lubricant, tech something, and
use it to lube inside carbs you are not putting into service right away.
Especially the accelerator pump. This tip from another Corvair carb
rebuilder in this area.

My cleaning product is Gunk Carb Cleaner CC3K, I buy from Ace Hardware. You
purchase on line at ace's site and it is shipped to the local ACE free and
you pick it up. Comes with a little parts bucket in a 1 gallon container.
And, I use a water rinse then blow dry, and spray with Wally World brake
cleaner, its cheap and removes moisture and oily films well, then blow dry.
