Carb Overhaul

Post by davidmcctan »

Hi guys.
Couple of questions on overhauling the carbs for a 60/2

1.How do you get rid of the hard residue on the carbs. Can you soak it in some solvent..

2. The overhaul gasket package Vech sent me has 6 gaskets, but I only count 4 in mine..not sure if I am missing something or have 2 extra gaskets

Likely the kit is a universal one. Bing's site has a kit for three different carb types and it has 12 pieces in it, 6 for each side:

As for cleaning, not sure what to use. The bowls are made from pot metal and are easily messed up if you get too aggressive. I'd use brake cleaner for sure. I wonder if a dilute mixture of simple green might help. I think I've seen people dunk carb parts in an ultrasonic cleaner. But you just have to be aware of the pot metal.

Over night soak

in lacquer thinner will soften the deposits. A small bristle brush will do the rest.
Compressed air at a high pressure will clean out the orifices, unless they are really plugged.

The rubber o-ring gets stretched and goes on the carb top.
