Title: seized Kadrons
Post by: bugnut68 on April 19, 2011, 17:28:52 pm
I've got a pair of old Kadron carbs with seized shafts sitting in carburetor cleaner for the duration... anybody have tips on how to coax the throttle shafts to move again after several days of sitting in the solvent?  I just put them in this past Sunday and figured I'd leave them through this week or so.  Just don't want to risk damaging anything.

Also, one of the accelerator pump pushrods broke due to corrosion and a seized adjustment nut.  Anyone out there have an extra lying around?

Soaking in some ATF might get you free'd up.
