An unconscionable number of bloggers carried on as if nothing had happened. It was a dark year and fifteen days for some, but for many, too many, it went unnoticed. It sure was a shitty year and fifteen days wasn't it? No one there to tell you if you'd done something stupid or helpfully remind the proper way to post your boring sob stories on the Interwebnation Superhighway. Oh, do I ever! But, gosh, it sure has been awhile hasn't it? I would say it's been at least a year, maybe even a year and fifteen days. Remember the days when the Interwebnation Superhighway was jam-packed with retards, but there was somebody else out there who cared enough to call them on it? I sure do. Of course, it's pretty hard to forget every single day since the thing's genesis. Ohh and avoid rubber gaskets if they can rest against the bottom of the pot.Remember the days when the Internet was full of stupid? I sure do. If you do have a large pot and are going to do a number of parts at the same time, I do recommend doing anything with a gasket separately so that you can check it easily and it wont get damaged by the other parts. The whole process took about 4 hours since I didnt have a large pot to do them all at once. While I was waiting for the other carb bodies, bowls, and caps to boil, I cleaned up the internal bits as well. The boiling removed some of the loose pieces from the gasket, but it is still intact and in good working order. Everything turned up Milhouse! (that means good) The top cap has been boiled in lemon juice and the bottom cap has not. I did this just to see what would happen to them because under the jet block on VM29 carbs is a really thin gasket that is a pain in the ass. Now I tried boiling the carbs with the paper gaskets still glued to them. To see that the lemon juice actually removes the residues from the aluminum, take a look at the fuel stains that have been removed from the top carb. The surface of the boiled carb is much smoother. Here's a comparison between a boiled carb and a carb that has only been scrubbed and doused with carb cleaner. Rinse it and scrub it in soapy water and then dry it off. Once you are finished boiling, you are left with a film all over your part. It is acidic enough to clean, but not acidic enough to eat away at the aluminum. Boiling in lemon juice brings all the grease and fuels to the surface of the aluminum. While the second part is boiling, you can rinse off the first part. After I was finished with the RC distributor housing, the fluid was full of crap, so I chucked it and put in new lemon juice. If you begin to get low, you can add water or more lemon juice. Move your part around and let it boil for about 30 minutes for a really good clean.Ĭontinually check your fluid level. Once you have a boil, place your part in the pot and bring the lemon juice back to a boil. I you too have a small pot (nothing to be ashamed of) just make sure you dont fill it to the top. I should have used a larger pot, but this is all I had. To get started, heat up enough lemon juice to cover your part as much as you can. Move the part occasionally so that it doesnt get too hot from sitting on the bottom. Watch your heat and monitor for boil oversģ. Now getting started is pretty easy, but let's lay down some ground rules:Ģ.
