How in the world can I get this carb cleaned? This gray stuff in the
bowl is some sort of gasket maker or an attempt at making a gasket,
because there was no gasket or sign of gasket in there but there is
this goop all around the edges when I broke it loose, same stuff that’s
all through the carb. I left carb cleaner in it over two nights, and the
crap still isn’t softening up. Got a full kit on the bench, but no use
going through it if I can’t get it cleaned up. Bought this tractor
(Farmall C) as a non-runner, easy to see why. Gets good spark and
the compression checks good, so here we are.
