I dont think I'll get a rfund but I'll try.

As for the taste--no idea but if I pour enough rum into it should be OK. I suppose had I thought about it in time I should have soaked it in the rum. That way if it fails I can drown my sorrows.

Take care gents.

Carb has been in for 2/4 days now and a film of some crud is forming on the surface. Tastes B awful.

Hi,

Usually a straw is used to draw branded cola drinks in to the mouth but how about getting a 'sonic cleaner' affect by blowing down the straw to make bubbles and directing them towards the little drillings that could have air trapped in them stopping the affect of the magic liquid.
As an adult you can get away with this as you can justify it on the grounds of increased efficiency.  As a child you would never have got a way with this excuse so make the most of it.

Dave.

Watch out for hyperventilation.

After two weeks in the coke there is no change in the solidity of the gunge in the channels. It has turned the carb a funny brownish colour  and the Coke tastes like I imagine the bottom of a baby's pram might taste.

I'm going to put it in fresh Coke for another couple of weeks.

Hi all. Great big thankyou to Berniej. At his invitation I sent my carb to him to do the business. He has now kindly sorted it and returned it to me. Super Job so thanks again Bernie. Perhaps you would like to post the pic on here. Accolades.!!!!

My pleasure Mike  :)

I invested in a small blasting cabinet a while back which I now use for all my alloy and brass parts when restoring.
Glass grit to clean and glass bead to peen and sheen.

I glass bead all of my carbs. They come out looking like new. Just thoroughly wash them including all orifices.
