Hi guys.

Having trouble with the DT carb. The tick over screw is stuck so can't change the tick over and it won't idle on its own.

Will a simple strip and clean fix this? Someone said to whack the carb in the oven at 50 for a minute or two and then try, although I don't think I want to put something with petrol inside in a oven. Laughing

As long as you have had the bowl off, and everything blow through with air, any petrol left in carb will be minimal.

I'd leave it out in the sun or other warm, well ventilated place for a few hours and then I'd probs feel brave enough to put it in the oven.

I roasted a lovely brake caliper the other day, delicious!

I'll get the compressor out and blow air all through it. Then spray it with carb cleaner and put it back on. Smile Thumbs Up

Cheers for the help. Karma
