This works I tried a few methods first Degreaser is alkali turned em black and all the brass jets .But I used hot water. next try white vinegar Didnt work good enough.Spent 50 bucks on an aluminium cleaner I thought was the bees knees .Nope White crap.The citric acid arrived today One carb done hot The other cold water .The aggression of the hot water accelerating the reaction brought a bit of white crap Do it cold I cant say how much i put in but ive go heaps left.When it turns green decant the stuff Add fresh and repeat My brass jets and carbs are beaut If there is a little white it rubs off with chux and the mix.Good news Its lemon juice acid and non toxic I tasted it lol This gets in all the galleries Cleans all the brass but yes I feel soda would give more bling to the exterior |

You don't really need those 2 tiny springs, most carbs I've seen including mine have them missing and they still work fine. Edit The brass weights sold now have no provision for the spring. |

Attachment: 20180103_171244.jpg Breakfast is ready  Thanks Kev I wondered that I think they only absorb the top of the bounce of the weight coming of the ball seat They are coming as I wasnt happy with myself losing two ..One carb has like an electrical bp connector on the pump threaded rod The other has two locknuts and a brass little spacer Not sure if this was standard This is my first DHLA experience
