[AT] 430V update

[Dean VP]

I would like to throw a suggestion into this mix of extra-cranial exercises.
I have had very good luck using this carburetor cleaner and it costs less
than anything found in the Auto Parts Store. I use it at full strength ....
Pine-Sol All-Purpose Cleaner, Lemon, 144 oz, Bottle which costs less than
$9.00 a bottle.  I have yet to have it fail other than when passages need to
be drilled out.  And if that is the situation, no carburetor cleaner is
going to work. The first time I used it I was very dubious but I was
completely surprised.  Try it... you too may be pleasantly surprised.

The old timers swear by boiling carbs, using something acidic instead of
water if there is rust.   Lemon juice definitely works but requires a rinse
boil to get the sugars off of it.  Preferably two rinse boils.   So it's
time consuming.

If rust isn't a problem I just dip them in my  NAPA carb dip.   If it is I
will dip them per normal(430V carb is in the can now) and then do the boil
after getting as much carb dip reside off as I can.

One thing I have noticed by boiling. You know that thin, fine grained
scale/sediment that is like concrete in the bottom of the bowl that the dip
never really gets out? Boiling will get that.

been in the carburetor recently. There's a rebuild kit in it, but a couple
of important components were not replaced. The throttle bushing was old and
probably was a little looser than I had thought. One jet was not seated all
of the way, and the float clearly is not adjusted correctly.  Also the water
leak that froze the cylinder also put some water in the carburetor.  So
there was some rust in two passages, partially clogging  them.

in the passages.   I fortunately have drill bits the exact correct size.
