I didn’t dare use the Zep with this plastic. I think the key with the ultrasonic is the heat.Sounds similar to my tumbler recipe. I add a little “Lemi shine” instead of Zep for the brass.

Not sure but probably similar- I get it at Lowe’s, it’s the e more aggressive degreaser. Works great on knuckle hardware.
I bought a gallon of carb cleaner for my ultrasonic cleaner both on Amoron. Haven't used either yet. A few more weeks until ice out and I can work on the cars.
Just out enjoying the late afternoon sun

Anyone want to rebuild and clean my carb? I guess I could do it…some good videos on YT. Weber 32/36

It’s not that big of a deal. You should do it.
Conversely, I have a 32/36 I am willing to part with and have a rebuild kit for it.

I’ll probably just do it to learn and bc I’m cheap.
I don't know about the complexity of a Weber versus an Aisin, but I just rebuilt this 1970 carb. It's my second one, the previous being an Aisin carb for a 2F/FJ60. With some good instruction, like a manual AND some YouTube videos, it's not hard at all. I had to file down some screwdrivers and you might need a $10 protractor from Ace Hardware to measure butterfly valve angles, but it's pretty easy. Cross your i's and dot your t's every step of the way and you're good.I’ll probably just do it to learn and bc I’m cheap.
(There are some nuances in setting the carb up properly, and that's why the usual experts here excel at what they do. Not taking away from them. The basic tear down and rebuild can be straightforward with some patience though.)

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I love the carbs with the glass. Works of art!
Mule is a ‘76. I’d be willing to rehab to do the ‘75. PM (effing spell check) and we can chat.

I even took the time to buff out that little sight glass with some turtle wax ... I think it's plastic though! Either way I tried to make everything shiny in a DIY way, without sending stuff off to be plated. That wouldn't match the patina of the rest of the 40 haha.
I've used Simple Green to clean the drivetrain on my bicycle. Wasn't sure if something else worked better. Will give your mix a try

How is that Master Cylinder levitating there? Held up by the brake lines?
Yeah, lol. Will deal with that tomorrow.
Yes, do it! I was talked into rebuilding mine Aisan Carb here on mud so i have to pay it fwd.I’ll probably just do it to learn and bc I’m cheap.
Plus ,parts/rebuild kit are easy to find I am sure. Good luck!

You know it’s been a rough week my initial thought after looking at the picture is “it’s attached to the firewall.” Then I realize the issue/ question.
Does that mean you’ll get the body on or remove the MC?
lol- I didn’t feel like dealing with any more mess. It’ll get a new MC and lines. Frame is being torn down, sand blasted and built from epoxy primer up.You know it’s been a rough week my initial thought after looking at the picture is “it’s attached to the firewall.” Then I realize the issue/ question.
