Title: Carter AFB rebuild. HELP!
Post by: nailr65 on September 03, 2020, 08:33:13 AM
While in the process of rebuilding my Carter AFB, I made the mistake of soaking the aluminum parts in degreaser.  This caused the parts to turn color and oxidize.  My question is, is there a way to stop the oxidation and still be able to use this carb?  I am not opposed to getting it clean and using it.  I am open to suggestions or any recommendations to who could restore the carb also.  Any and all suggestions are appreciated.  Thank you in advance.  Dave

There are a couple of people that specialize in our AFB carbs. Carmen Faso and Tom Telesco, possibly one of them could help.
Carmen's contact is by phone : 716-693-4090. He doesn't do internet.
Tom's email is :  telriv@yahoo.com

  Hope that is helpful,

I can help you get it going again.  Have restored many of these.  I can bead blast it and do a basic rebuild on  it.  Not set up to do plating, but paint all the steel pieces with zinc color paint after I blast them.
