Re plating Carburetor Does anyone know a decent place to have a carburetor Cadmium re-plated.
It is worth doing such a thing, or too expensive?? |
Re: Re plating Carburetor Believe that carbs. are as cast finish with perhaps an added acid etch.

Re: Re plating Carburetor you can always do it yourself! zinc chromate solution, item has to be CLEAN, adjust the color by the time the part is in the solution, rinse in a WEAK chromate solution. the fuel pump is slightly darker in color [flash washed out some of the color]. it`s not hard.

In Graduate school I transmuted Silver into Cadmium by subjecting the Silver to slow neutrons. |
Re: Re plating Carburetor not a kit, go to a plating/polishing supply house. they will have everything you need, including advise. i would stay away from Eastwood.

Re: Re plating Carburetor Plating or colour cromate isnt the hard part...getting it cleaned up nicely is.
Any difference in surface will get you an uneven finish. Caustic cleaning and acid flash to activate the surface. |
Re: Re plating Carburetor Sounds expensive for a one time deal...maybe I should have it done out...or just wire brush it and install it.
