Tyler,
Suggest a camera to take many pix as you disassemble the carb; including 
making your own exploded view using actual parts.  Shouldn't be needed for 
most carburetors, but....

Hi all,
My grandfather recently gave me an old carburator to take apart and
learn how to clean.
He said he thinks it was from a truck, but he said it has been sitting
in his shed for many years.
There is a lot of varnish through out the carb, because you can feel it.
I have never disassembled a carb to clean it, and so I just thought I
might ask any advice here.
I plan on taking the carb out to the shed, and using an old
cookiesheet to put the parts I have disassembled on it. Then I plan on
getting little butter tubs of some sort so I can put screws in one,
bolts in another, etc.
Should I use liquid cleaner, or the spray cleaner?
When using the liquid cleaner, you take each part off the carb and
then dip it into the liquid?
How long should I let it sit inside?
Thanks for any help!
Take care,
Tyler J
