Dry carb piston and barrel with some corrosion.
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2018 10:16 pm
I took the cap off one of my carbs and the piston shows some signs of mild corrosion. Can this be removed with 2000 grit or polish etc or does this increase the piston gap and make it "misbehave".
I also noticed that the piston and barrel were very dry. I thought that crankcase fumes were drawn through the carbs to provide lubrication - can anyone shed any light on this?
Should I lubricate these manually?
