Carb body cleaning

[fastbysuzuki]

Hi just been reading an article on cleaning carb body's (external) the guy an ex racer is rebuilding a two stroke and he has used "wonderwheels" the alloy wheel cleaner to clean the externals the results are very good.
He recommends that you use gloves and be careful not to splash into eyes paints it on undiluted with a brush then pretty quickly puts the part into a bucket of warm soapy water as if you leave it a while it darkens the alloy. Another tip with the clear master cylinder reservoir that has discoloured leave it it bleach and warm water overnite resulting in looks like new.
thought it was worth mentioning.

The important parts to clean on carbs is not the outside but the inside passages. Using the carb dip and following the procedures outlined here will automatically clean the outsides well enough while ensuring your system runs properly

You have a link (or two) to that cleaning procedure?

Yes I realise that, maybe I did not explain clearly I was talking about the outer/look rather than the in depth clean that you talk of.

I'd live to find a product I could just dunk my carbs in and they came out glistening.....Haha. I've never seen such a product yet.
Soda blasting gets then nice and clean. Light lustre to them and even aluminum color.
Share some pics of that guys method and results. I'd like to see.

Small wire bristled tooth brushes, 000 grade steel wool and hemostats to get in the nooks and crannies. Carb spray and a little elbow grease does the trick also.
