carb cleaning

Received this link from Peter Inman, who I spoke to at the Scottish Show.

Apparently you boil your carb parts in distilled water and this takes the sludge off. The example in the article uses Gold Wing carbs, but its the same for all I'd imagine.

Basically it's the same thing, you are exiting the molecules, one uses vibration the other uses heat to get the job done. If you are going to boil them suspend them in the water so they don't touch the bottom of the pan.
