Re: How to assess whether a carb is worth rebuilding?

Never heard of using Pine-Sol, though it is a pretty strong soap. Then again, I actually know people who have "boiled out" a carburetor in a pot on the stove. Bet they had to buy the wife a new pot, after that.
I had some pine sol on hand so giving it a bath now, will see how it works and report back. I disassembled the carb and submerged everything but the floats (they float, who knew?). Gonna get a rebuild kit from Summit I think.

Anyone know if this is the appropriate rebuild kit? I assume so. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/s...-size/3-8l-230
