Giving this 34 year old carburetor hardware a facelift!
Using "Toon - Brite" acid base aluminum cleaner on carburetors. Container in front has several gallons of water with 2lbs of baking soda in it to neutralize acid on parts, otherwise the acid keeps on eating metal. The first day I did this I wet them once with the cleaner and waited 5 min/per instructions and rinsed and neutralized parts. Did very little. Today I kept them wet with cleaner until the thick grey crusty layer disappeared (about 15-20 min). Worked pretty well.
Managed to work through the oxidation layer that remained with aluminum polish in this spot in about 15 min. Imagine how long it will take to polish all the cracks and crevices!
Hmm, thats more work than I want to do. I'm takin Tools advice and soda blasting the rest off.
