    Hey folkes

    I noticed that some sellers of vintage carburetors clean the houses nicely so the aluminum/tin finisch shines again. How they do this is a mith to me , but maybe some of you guys or girls have tryed it at home and got a good result? Be kind to share the knowledge with me to tell what the working procedure is and the remedy you have used?

    Thank you so much Martinius.:D

    Well ;

    The good places do it using a fairly soft media like baking soda (Bicarbonate) , other places use used , close to worn out glass beads , this is kinda rough on the carbys .

    Then it can be anodized back to the bronze color it was when new .

    Be gentle with your carbys as they're easy to ruin .
