[Tigers] Carb Cleaning 101 : Edelbrock 600 CFM

[gharlowe at comcast.net]

Listers -

 

I went to start the Tiger for the first time in about 2 months (nice day
here in Maryland!) and it just wouldn't fire.   I determined it wasn't
getting any gas.   Fuel is getting to the carb from the pump, but there's
nothing coming out of the jets when I pump the throttle linkage.   The carb
has been on the car for over 10 years.   I assume 10 years of gunk, ethanol,
varnish and just sitting in the garage has clogged everything up.  I'm
hesitant to start disassembling the carb if there's a less intrusive path to
take first.   (The last time I tried to overhaul a carb was helping a high
school buddy with his Plymouth slant 6 and it didn't end well.)  Has anyone
had any luck just soaking a whole carb (carb cleaner, acetone, etc.) and
then re-installing?    Any other tips/tricks?  

 

Thanks much,
