 **Lemon Juice Bath**: \\
-Pure lemon juice works great as carb cleaner. You can get bottles of it at your supermarket. Pour enough in a foil loaf pan (or an old pot ((Monte03 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=983964&page=4)) ) to cover carb then bring to boil.

 Once it's boiling, put carb in for 5 minutes (1/2 hour or less), remove and spray it with WD-40 to prevent rust on steel parts. \\
-You can let the carb boil at a low heat for about 1/2 hour and then an old toothbrush will help with the tough varnish (if any left). \\
+You can actually let the carb boil at a low heat for about 1/2-1 hour and then an old toothbrush will help with the tough varnish (if any left). ((Monte03 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=983964&page=2)) \\
+Bring the juice to a boil, back off the heat and simmer the carb body for an hour. It will smell like all hell, be forewarned. \\
 This won't hurt rubber parts so you can remove the float bowl and put the bowl and carb in boiling lemon juice and it will look good as new when finished. \\

 **Pinesol Bath**: \\
+Pinesol doesn't require any heating. \\
 The bowl for this carb was replaced since the old one was cracked and subsequently replaced. \\
 The old bowl is to the left in the pic below and represents the condition of the carb before soaking. \\
 The carb was dunked in a container of Pinesol a little while (not overnight) and then touched up with a tootbrush and a final dunk. \\
+Then wash thoroughly with warm / hot soapy water and blow all the passages out really well. \\
+Reassemble carb and install. \\
 All passages were blown out with compressed air.

+==== General Screw Removal ====
+Phillips Head Screws: \\
+Always use the correct wrench for the screw heads you're working with. \\
+Using a too small Phillips screwdriver will strip the head of a Phillips screw. \\
+Not using enough force against a Phillips screw when removing or installing can strip the head of the screw. \\
+Using a short Phillips screwdriver with the correct size end leaves you less torque than using a long one. \\
+Then you have to push harder on the screw while turning and slippage of the tool begins. \\
+You can also use a screwdriver bit adapter on a socket wrench to give you more turning power especially when removing stubborn screw. \\
+It's not a good idea to tighten Phillips head screws with a socket wrench. \\
+A good thick long screwdriver is generally all that's needed. \\
+**Caution**: tightening Phillips head screws with a socket wrench can strip the heads of the screw. \\
+Loosening a screw: Always keep good pressure against the screw while turning it until it loosens up. \\
+Tightening a screw: Snug plus a nudge is all it takes to tighten these carb screws with a socket wrench. \\
+(especially with no torque specs in the service manuals) \\
