Concentric clean

All you need for this bit is a soft brass brush , metal polish, and elbow grease and or a polishing wheel.
**********************************

Give it all a going over with the brush to get the white powdery
stuff off

like this...
*******************************************

If you have a wheel give it a light once over.

then stub your fingers and use metal polish.

Don't forget the important little places.. use a cotton bud..

Clean up the flange ...(he said ..flange....he he he snigger..snigger)..

..lightly on an emery block

then your manky old carb should look like this..
( if not do it again..)

Amal monoblock 376/1 987

Deep Clean.

Hello, Chaps.
Today's' lesson is all about how to clean and re-build your "AMAL" concentric ( does not matter what size or model number ) I'm going to do the monoblock next.. pay attention at the back there .......

**********************************************************************************
First take your manky old carb

*********************************************************Take it all apart
***********************************
Then collect this sort of stuff together .
Safety glasses.
Rubber gloves.
Bucket of clean water.

I use- an old chip frying basket and a bucket that it fits into, and a bottle of
white spirit. (this completely de-grease 's ...engine parts need oiling or spray with W.D.40 when dry as they rust very quickly . petrol is just as good ...but remember
put that fag out !!!

****************************************

**************************************************************

1/2 fill the bucket with the de-grease stuff of you choice and an old paintbrush (fairly stiff )

***********************************************************************************

Take your carb apart and put in basket

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Put basket in bucket and let to soak for a while to soften the crap
then put on goggles and rubber gloves
give it a good stir

Carefully take the rubbers off before you wash the air and throttle stop screws ( the white spirit eats the rubber )

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

When clean.. dry all the bits.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

BE CAREFUL ACID IS USED IN THE NEXT BIT.......(pay attention jones minor..stop looking out of the window

This is the stuff I use to clean all my ally bits ..I think there are agents all over the country
( click on pic to read the phone number and ask )
this is used by car valeters to clean ally wheels , so you can probably get the same sort of stuff under another name.

*********************************************************
Put some in a bucket
Make sure you put on the gloves and goggles

********************************************************
And have clean water to wash off any acid splashes on skin...(ooooh.. my face is melting!!)
**************************************************
Get some bits of wire. NOT with a plastic coating!!
and fix to all the bits
..( you boy..yes you .!! if you continue to smoke that funny cigarette I just hope you've rolled it big enough for everyone..)...

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
Dunk it in the acid ...oh pretty man

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
dunk it up and down a bit and use an old paint brush

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
when it stops fizzing.

*************************************
Take it out

**************************************************
put it straight into the water to kill the acid.
****************************************
( jones minor ..if you look out of the window again I will make you do P.E. with the girls....jones ..jones..where have you gone.????!!!)

*****************************

**********************************

wash with the same brush

******************************************************
check all the crap has come off ,if not dry it and do it again.
