Not much to report this weekend. Had a little garage time between all the family Easter dinners.

On Thursday or Friday I had a chance to get the carb torn down. I soaked it in original pine sol which I found as a tick to use online and YouTube. I let it soak for a good 24 hours in full strength pine sole. I ended up changing the bucket I was using because it was not big enough to submerge all the parts and carb.

From what it started at and where it ended up I would say it was a successful rebuild and only a little rust remnant left over in the float bowls and a little staining on the carb top.

I never realized how potent pine sol is, it even ate all the yellow plating off all the linkage LOL.

I just placed it down on the manifold to see how it would look. I need to mount it and hook up the linkage still.
