===E. Cleaning=== ---- =====Soaking the parts===== {{Caution}}According to [http://www.hotrodders.com Hotrodders] forum member '''''trees''''': <blockquote>''"Soaking all metallic parts is the way to go but using small brushes lightly is a good idea. Do not soak non-metallic items." ^''</blockquote> =====Cleaning with brushes and wires===== {{Caution}}According to [http://www.hotrodders.com Hotrodders] forum member '''''trees''''': <blockquote>''"You also need to use the correct size wire to run through all the jets and orifices. Be careful not to force the wire and score the surface." ^''</blockquote> ====="White stuff" oxidation deposit build up===== For information on the ''"white stuff"'' that can build up on carburetor castings, please see the discussions on the ''Hotrodders'' threads: *[http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/quadrajet-211629-3.html '''''Quadrajet''''']. *[http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/carburetor-builders-answer-174471.html#post1242012 '''''Carburetor Builders Answer this!!!!!!!!!'''''] =====Drying the parts===== {{Caution}}According to [http://www.hotrodders.com Hotrodders] forum member '''''trees''''': <blockquote>''"One last rinse with the cleaner and blow dry everything.
