Brasso works really good. You could even soak the brass parts in a solution of vinegar and table salt. but then rinse it in some baking soda and water mixture to neutralize the vinegar and salt mixture. Either of those ideas work really well. JMHO

got er cleaned but now I need to know whats the initial setting for the rich/lean needle? tried the good old omc 1-1/2 tuens out from lightly seated but that doesn't seem right. I'm not familiar with this newer style carb.
