Do carb restorers blast the outside of the carb to make them look like new? Carb cleaner and boil out doesn't seem to do the trick. I need to re-do mine and I would like it to look new and not like I sprayed it with carb cleaner. Toolmanmike
Hey toolmanmike, I just googled your question and the same question was posed on a chebby forum. From what was said on there, put the parts in a 50/50 mix of Simple Green and water with an ultrasonic cleaner for 1/2 hour. Here is the link......by the way dont stare directly at it, its from a chebby site

What is an ultrasonic cleaner??
Thanks for the info. Ultrasonics are very expensive cleaners like the jewlry store uses to clean your wifes wedding ring. LOL[/QUOTE]What is an ultrasonic cleaner??
Thanks Adam,I guess it depends on the type of carb you are restoring. Holleys and Edlebrocks are plated so they likely blast them or strip them with something harsh then re-plate them. Factory
Carters I dont believe are plated. I cleaned a Thermoquad with wheel acid which worked well.
I think they use Macay's parts dip. I don't even know if that make that stuff anymore. The EPA may have blacklisted it.
