Re: Carb has too much idle hole drilled?
I'm not sure about the corrosion thing since the carb is aluminum after all BUT after cleaning step number 2, there was white powdery stuff on everything which could have been corroded aluminum. But, being a stubborn SOB, I refuse to write off the avenger since it was my first carb. I will boil and soak and do whatever necessary to clean her out. It was probably fine seeing how my intake probably has an internal leak.
The bolt threads are loc-tited (is that epoxy? Sure doesnt look like it). In all honesty, the screws could hold themselves in without extra help but it seemed like quick and dirty insurance so I dont have little screw heads in the intake.
I will de-rtv the carb when putting the intake back on.
