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 inherited a 1979 MGB GT. It had been sat in a garage for nearly two decades and was in desperate need of a bit of attention. Knowing absolutely nothing about cars and even less about engines I, of course, decided to get it back on the road.
