revisit Carb issue

[Marian]

Oh, Marian, wait. Stan is curious, too. You should rethink this.

Don't worry. Only had 1/2 gallon of vinegar and I'm to sick to go out to get more. Only a quarter of the carb is being soaked. Talked to a guy in La Porte Tx that will rebuild it, if I need. But, it's a good trial and error project. Couldn't hurt anything.

Great, I look forward to the results! I hope this will work, because when, this will be one of the first things i'll do when the car is here ;)

Awe. Thanks. I'm looking at this in a positive approach. What other way can one lose 3 lbs. in 24 hours? Gonna go check the carb. now.

I think there is an improvement. Remember, I only had the bottom part submerged. I'll get more vinegar and a brush tomorrow. It ain't happening tonight. Sorry.

Hey Marian how long did you soak it for? I know Stan said two days so i'm curious to see how long it took to show that improvement.

About 7-8 hours.

I think I have heard that formula before might have been here. I have a avs I am going to try that on. Now take it back to first guy, then tell nope you had your chance.

I would disassemble it completely first that the vinegar can reach every little spot!

She has to disassemble it anyway...

Right.......... But she is soaking first so its easier to take apart.

Unless the carb is original to the car.....I would buy a new one.

I believe it is original.

She's been going bonkers trying to keep it as original as possible, I can't see her wanting to slide on this one.

Is original

I went to the store and got 3 gallons of vinegar. Forgot the lemon juice. I discovered that the previous vinegar was 5%, this is 96% used for pickeling. Or however you spell it. I'll dump out the other stuff and use this new stuff.
