It is like painting. I know how to do it but I hate it.

If you don't have access to a hot tank, "rebuilding" carbs can be a

frustrating exercise. There always seems to be one passage you don't

get completely clean and that is usually the one that caused the

problem in the first place.

Yep!

You do not want a hot tank on aluminum. Use Chem-dip or another aluminum
cleaner.

I am not sure what they had in the tank but they called it a hot tank
and a carb came out looking brand new.,

Hot tanks where they cleaned blocks would eat aluminum. Made nice bubbles
in the tank. The engine block tanks used Caustic Soda.
