I am working on salvaging the original Carter AFB for my Coronet. I had let the car set too long with ethanol fuel, and ended up with a rusty tank. That transmitted the rust and crude to the carburetor. It got to running really badly, so now am fixing things up and replacing the fuel tank. I am starting to clean the carb now, but not sure how well the typical degreasing type cleaners are going to work in the rust and the white powdery residue left from the darn ethanol. I am seeing ultrasonic cleaners online. I have never used one, or even seen one to my knowledge. It might be worth spending a couple hundred on a decent one if it would do a good job. You guys have experience with cleaning a carb with the rust and ethanol crud?
Thanks
