H carb soaking question?

John in Ct · Oct 12, 2008

I want to soak my Farmall H carb. I have it all apart. Can I put it in Napa Brand carb dip without hurting the brass throttle shaft bushing and other parts like the throttle plate, etc? My carb dip is maybe 3 years old that wasn't used too much. Does a carb dip go bad over time? How long is too long to soak the H carb? Thanks!

I soak them in kerosene for about a week, longer on extremely rusty carburetors.

Soak it as long as you like without worry. I've had carb cleaner for over 8 years that was still good. mike

I have been using the same can of carb cleaner now for 5 plus years. I do top it off once in a while because after doing 30 or more carbs it gets low. I soak mine for 24 hours or so and it has never hurt any parts
