Carter WCFB: More Tear Down

    Continued to break down the carburetor so I can clean it. It should be ready to assemble when the rebuild kit gets here. The pictures are boring but they will help me to put it back together ;o)

Home made linkage may not stay.

Pretty Dirty!

One or two of the butterfly discs are slightly damaged, I may look for replacements.

Taking note of the screw positions.

I un=pinched the vent tube ... good or bad .. we will see.

That's a Pile-O-Parts!

After I got it all apart I sprayed it with aluminum wheel cleaner then boiled the three casts in water with one scoop of Oxy-clean. Every thing came out clean but the cast iron top and bottom piece came out looking a brownish purple LOL The aluminum center cast had white deposits on it. I started polishing it with a clean polish compound but ran out of time. I should be able to work on it tomorrow. I'm not sure what I'm doing with the cast pieces yet. I dont really need to polish the carb, but I have time while waiting on the parts. I want it to be as nice as possible before I put it back together. I still need to inventory and see if I can get the parts that are missing.
