I'm guessing this carb may need a little cleanup before it gets reinstalled. anyone else got some truly ugly discoveries to show? ------------- 3 Ford 8N's I loan to neighbors, but the '52CA, '41B and little B1 I do not. |

| I'd put it in a bucket of used motor oil and just walk off and forget about it for at least a month, longer won't hurt. Then put in carb. cleaner and let it set a few days. Don't repair any damaged places with J.B. Weld as gasoline deteriorates it. That will usually get rid of corrosion. You can use a cutting torch tip cleaner to clean out the passages, but be careful. |

Get a coleman stove, (or some kind of outside burner), get a pot of water (I usually add some lemon juice as well) and bring it to a hard boil. Disassemble the carb as best you can, and just boil the heck out of it for a few hours. That'll usually clean it up well. Had an old army guy tell me that, and it worked one the last carb I rebuilt. Oh....make sure you use "soft" water. We have really hard water where I live, and the first time I tried this I just used hydrant water, without thinking. Cleaned the carb, but left it chalky white. Boiled again in bottled water, and that helped remove the deposits. |

so, Creston - you don't think taking it in to the kitchen and asking Joyce to keep it on the boil while she cooks would work? uh... neither do i. I have an old barbecue I use right outside my little shop. and Leon - this is a "backup" carb now so I'm in no hurry. right now I have the carb and the sediment bowl (in similar condition) soaking in some old gas... then I'll move on to the boiling water, then finish up with a 3 day soak in the new formula and not so strong Berryman dip and see what I've got. I have great passage poke-out wire so I'm pretty sure I can get this working with little elbow grease but lots of patience. thanks for the help. but I still would like to see some other "horror" pictures...  ------------- 3 Ford 8N's I loan to neighbors, but the '52CA, '41B and little B1 I do not. |

| drobCA....I tried boiling mine in the house. After about 15 minutes, the smell was unbearable, so I took the pot outside, rigged up a gas burner, then boiled a couple hours out there, while the windows of the house were open, trying to air it out! |

Looks like some of the Carbs that come in to me for rebuild. Looks like something was living in them. Glassbeader will clean that up lickity-split. You may have to take a dremel tool to it and smooth out the float walls and floor of the rust worm really got to it. Looks like it did..... Renew the floats.

Hadda I 400 carb that was worse'n that. Found it buried in the sand, beneath the tractor, in a junkyard... Took it to rebuilder, and told him he'd earn his money on this one...

I don't have any pics, but the MS on my OC46 had stalactites and stalagmites totally filling the cavity . The weird thing is, I had the engine popping a few times while pulling it before I took the carb off to check it out. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

yeah, Steve - no glass beader (yet) but zero prob... I love my rototools and a nice bench job that i can do while watching a movie. and Charlie - were your "growths" hard or soft? this thing was absolutely 100% full of white powdery stuff except for a couple of places on the walls where there are hard white/grey deposits. ------------- 3 Ford 8N's I loan to neighbors, but the '52CA, '41B and little B1 I do not. |
