28 carb corrosion

Recommended Posts

We ran straight alcohol (methanol) in our circle track car and that stuff really corrodes. After the races each week we drained the alcohol but left the carburetor bowls full. A fuel hose  from a can of 25 to 1 oil/gas mix was hooked to the pump and the mix was pumped into the carb while the engine was running on the gas left in the bowls. It would smoke like crazy and die on its own. Cut way back on corrosion and only took 10 minutes max after a few cycles.

What year and model of car are you driving?   I have not had any problems with fuel on my Marvel with corrosion.

 

Post some pictures of what you are talking about and it could be something else.
