Carb cleaning issues

BCCase · Feb 26, 2018

I have a carb from a Farmall F12 that needs to be rebuilt. I have cleaned, sandblasted and soaked in PB Blaster and the majority of the adjustment screws and fittings(most of which are brass and we know fun it is working with brass hardware) are stuck in place. I would like to remove everything so I can soak the the carb in solvent before I reassemble. Should I soak it for longer? Should I heat the casting up? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Put it in a metal pan cover it with ATF and then put it on the stove and heat it up to the point of almost smoking and then let cool. Then let it sit for a couple hour good chance things will free up. If they don't heat it again. By the way one place a sand blaster should never come close to is carb

Thanks Old, the carb was completely together and I filled both ends with rags and taped them off before I blasted. There was four or five layers of old paint so thick half the screw heads were filled in.

I have a bench top cabinet and use glass beads. But I take all the brass parts out first then good hot water and detergent to clean it. Brass fittings will usually come out with a little heat on the casting. Use a good fitting screwdriver, clamp it firmly to a bench and use both hands and your chin.
