carb problems

[Lard_Baron]

I've left my 90 in a shed for 3 years.
Now I've come to sell it, it will not start due to petrol starvation.

The carb, now Ive taken it apart, has little deposits in it like grains of sand.
is there any way to disolve them?

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Am i a wrong un?

Surely you're not gonna sell it to someone who might use it? Isn't that against your convictions? How will you live with yourself? Will it mean that you fail?

 

[Ed Foster]

You should recycle it and use the money to buy trees to hug!!

 

[Lard_Baron]

Thanks for all your help.
Do I have to buy a new carb?
I suspect I'll have to buy new jets?

Take the carb off.
Take the lid off the carb.
Wash the whole inside with petrol.
Make sure none of the jets or tubes is blocked.
Use an airline with a jet-gun to blast it clean.

Put it back together.
Fit it to the manifold with a new gasket.
Prime the fuel up.
See if it starts.

Why was everyone being unkind to you? What am I missing?

Well, I have been a bit abrasive in the past.
I think I'll soak in it petrol. I've already washed it.
It improved it from not starting at all to giving the odd cough.
It will not rev for love nor money.

What are those little grains?

 

[Pikey]

If you get it started can I suggest you drive down to the coast and drive yourself off a cliff.

there is a gawd after all and it looks like he drives a landy

 

[slob]

oh and them little grains is probably sand that someone you have ****ed off has put in yer tank

 

[CharlesY]

The little grains are probably a mixture of oxides of aluminium and zinc from the casting of the carb body.

Aluminium oxide is very abrasive. Get rid of it.
