[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 420607, member: 15636"] I'd agree with you! While I've never bought a used carb, I've bought a TON of used motors, so hence yes - the carbs were indeed 'used'. But I tell you, I drain them, remove the bowl (clean it well) and push Seafoam through them (smallest orifice to larger) using syringe and only on 1 carb have I ever had to do a full teardown and replace the various orifice caps/covers. Sometimes I'll even some sections/parts full with it, don't I do not leave them immersed. If you don't have an OEM manual to know what orifices drain to where, just go easy - drain & fill, and sit, then drain, just let the liquid move around by its own weight - don't force anything.
