Is it possible to get all the corrosion out of the little nooks and crevices? I am trying to use a carb I had sitting for a while which worked fine but was not big enough for the projects at the time. I now have a project in which to use it.
1st I would like to make it look nice
2nd Do I have to rebuild it also or can I trust that it will still work.

It has been sitting in a box for 5 years.

I would like to know also.  I have a dated carb that I found that needs to have the body cleaned up as well.

If its just a basic rebuild & cleaning + painting & it has decent throttle shafts, the labor will be 75.00 + kit & shipping, you can supply the kit if you'de like, i wouldn't think the shipping here & back would be over 25-30.00 USPS Priority mail :2thumbs:

I would like to have the gold cad replated to make it a concours resto to match the rest of my car.  Do you do replating also?
