Subject: Pietenpol-List: Carb A-65Pieters, One of you must have experienced what I went through this afternoon. Opening and trying to clean a long dormant A-65 carb. With drills and e-z outs I finally performed the necessary surgery. HOWEVER, what can one use, beg,borrow, steal or buy to clean that varnish and the carb itself?Corky in La getting ready to fire up the powerplant for Repiet (NX311CC)________________________________________________________________________________
