Hi its me again.
Another question this time about carbs, I have been given an old carb for my OS H 40P it is sticky and I can not move the throttle arm and what to know do I strip it and soak it or just soak it.
If stripping it is the option how do I start
Thanks David

WD 40, fuel, soap, denatured alcohol. all will desolve the gelled castor oil don't force it though
make sure the jets are clear by putting some fuel line on the input nipple with a little fuel and gently ...GENTLY!! blowing. if you blow to hard it'll go ALL OVER and glow fuel taste like/// glow fuel
oh yeah unscrew the needle valve first
I would save yourself some head aches and get a new Oring for the needle valve as they don't last long and will drive you nuts with air leaks.
