Picked up a Carter maxwedge carb that I disassembled for cleaning. Used ultrasonic cleaner with mild dishwasher and a little simple green. After it was dried out and sat, an interesting aluminum/Zinc leaching pattern developed.
First it does show how gasoline can attack the aluminum coating overtime; and allow it to leach out the zinc I presume.
Second it clearly showed the float level disparity between throttle side and choke side. Choke side is really low and would have been way lean on this carburetor.
