Blaster media for cleaning carbs

[Heath]

What recommendations are there for media type for cleaning up some carbs I have laying around (6 Quadrajets) before I rebuild them?

Something like soda I'm guessing but where can I get 10kgs of the stuff (or garnet or grit) in Chch

I vaguely remember a thread on this a while ago, so tried searching but the search function is down.

Google is dead

strip them and put them in the dish washer while your mrs isnt looking.sometimes that works well on alloy

Too late, she saw this as I read it - besides they are a bit corroded.

Anyone know how to do the replating of the carbs? Might just have to pay to get them redone.

Although I might have a go at electroplating the smaller steel bits (if I can figure out how and if its cheap enough).

Might have to do a clean up few jobs for others to get some $$$ back for the toys.
