OK, I have seen this a few times lately to the point of one carb totally dissolved internally and wonder if anyone knows what's up.
I am finding sand or salt shaped crystals inside the float bowls. These crystals are caustic enough to actually eat the carb up. They just peeled a layer off one of my float bowls and started etching the other.
This is a first for my carb, but I normally do a kit sooner. My engine was also sitting with just the odd start now and then for 8 months as was the one with the totally eaten carb, it was sitting longer even.
Just curious if anyone has seen anything like that or not.
