Inca Yellow

getting a 1979 MB GT back on the road

Cleaning carburettors

June 4, 2009

While I've got the carbs. off, I thought I'd shine them up a bit and clear any gunk from around the linkages.

I started with some carburettor cleaner spray and a toothbrush to get rid of the worse of the grime. After a couple of runs at it, they were looking much better. The shine was added using some Autosol metal polish and a bunch of elbow grease. Fig 1 has the cleaned set on the left and the other one for comparision, but hopefully you could tell that.

About Inca Yellow

A while back I aquired a 1979 MGB GT, and whilst it didn't actually work I was totally smitten with it and decided to get it back on the road.
