Drum fed...mmmm...nice!!!!Thanks for the pics! That oughta scare some zombies

Yes,the works will kill chrome in an instant.

Brass will live forever at  full strength

The carb main bodies will not discolor or get hurt. A 4:1 solution should fizz nicely on the mainbodies,and i just swish mine around in a bucket of clear water to rinse them .Nothing special.

It will not hurt rubber,o-rings,hose or anything like that.But i would not try it on the floats.Never did myself and would not recommend it.

The cadmium plating on the choke turn buckles probably will not last either.But i imagine yours are rusted anyways.

Pretty much safe on any BARE metal,but will remove any and all coatings off of anything


Hope this clarifies my previous ramblings
Here is what mine looked like when i started

Here is my main body after one 30 second dip in 4:1 mix.Still has some varnish that you can see,knocked it off with my fingernail.Notice the fizz?It will creat some heat,dont let it alarm you.To be honest,i would be afraid to use this toilet cleaner anywhere near my toilet
