[AT] AR carburetor

[Wayne Snelling]

Ralph: I have had some sucess with soldering carb float splits. I first 
position the carb on a holder of your making so that the split is down 
and then put it into a hot oven and let it get hot-mainly to get all the 
liquid out of it as the air expands inside and then so it will be hot 
when I solder it. Use a very good soldering iron - mine is a variable 
temp and I set it towards the top of the range. I clean the float before 
all of this so I can get right to the soldering. Getting it hot seems to 
help me get a better flow of solder because the float is not heating and 
expanding as I solder. Maybe my imagination but works best for me. Tin 
the tip before starting.
