Drag racing not so much my thing. I can appreciate the skill needed to build the car and race it but it seems so limited to me.  I prefer F1 much more as pure racing. For your average car guy/gal though I can see how drag racing has such an appeal, though if I ever get/build a racing car ill go to autocross.  

If I dare now, I'm going back on topic for a bit

Got some works and dipped my carbs in them (before I was using lysol brand but works was faster to type out than lysol toilet bowl clener )

All I have to say is


Now thats out of the way I need to be serious for a bit.  How clean do I need the upper bowl area and ports to be?  each carb i let soak for 30 seconds each side then 30 second standing up in a 1/3 works mix, then after rinsing I tuned the carb upside down put 100% works in there let it sit for 30 seconds, rinse and repeat.

Even after all that the upper portion of the bowl, where all the brass screws in, still looks gungy.  I was even taking a brush to it and didn't want to go any more. Thought I was pushing it as it is, also the insides of the bowls themselves are a grungy after a 30 second soak (filling the bowl up not on the outside) with 100% works.  

I decided to do that because the bowls are in rough shape anyway and figured it couldn't make them look worse.  I'll try to get pics up tomorrow of what they look like but for now I got to go to sleep if I can get that stench of works fumes out of my nose...
