Subject: Carb cleaner not good for weeks

Folks-

Had a visitor tonite, we were discussing carb cleaning and resurrection of 
reall bad carbs. He mentioned that he once left one in carb cleaner solvent 
for days, and it attacked the zinc die cast body. It occurred to me that I 
had been soaking a Suzuki carb for several weeks now in the carb cleaner 
can. And, it had blown the lid off once, and was lately seen bulging again. 
So, I opened the can, it was uinder pretty good pressure again, and saw an 
ugly sight indeed. This carb was on a last ditch attempt to salvage any 
parts whatsoever anyhow, not like the last one in the world or anything, but 
the lesson learned is that carb cleaner is for a DAY OR 2 ONLY, not for days 
and weeks and months.

Maximum time period for soaking any aluminum or pot metal part in carb
cleaner is 48 hours. Always has been. If it's not clean in 24 hours, then
give it another 24. If it's not clean then, it's not getting clean.

Soaking steel parts in carb cleaner has no time limit.

I've always considered carb cleaner to just be a strong solvent that
loosens schuffs. If it ain't loosened after a cupla hours, the schtuff
needs some scraping/brushing, then another dip to get the residue off.
Never have had a carb that needed moren that, even a late e-Qjet whose
throttle plate was gummed up in carbon. Those always need some
scraping/brushing.

Then there are the guys who don't wanta scrape/brush outta fear of leaving
permanent marks on the carb; can't help youse, sorry  ;o\

Carb cleaner is most useful for dissolving carbon. All the other
contaminants can be removed with paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or a very
strong detergent. But removing carbon is the key. That's why sound
suppressors for firearms are soaked and cleaned in carb cleaner.

First of all, I should have been a lot clearer in my description, since I 
was (at that time) a lot more illegal than you might think. I wasn't just 
blinking my high beams to indicate "please move over," which is common in 
Europe (and I really doubt it's illegal here, unless someone can come up 
with a cite for us). What I had was an alternating-headlight flashing system 
for emergency vehicles, the thing that blinks your high beams 
right/left/right/left/etc. Go to http://www.jcwhitney.com and search for 
Part No. 89ZX0348X, or just click on http://makeashorterlink.com/?N2FA326F6 
to see the exact item I have (currently stored in a box in my basement).

So anyway, I had installed this thing on my '82 Cutlass after finding that 
your average Left-Lane Bandit would cheerfully ignore regular high-beam 
flashing and continue to squat in the passing lane. However, a few seconds 
of alternating high beams (specifically, about four blinks, followed by a 
few seconds of waiting as the offending motorist's foggy little brain 
registered what was happening), and the squatter would move right on over.

Plus, of course, they looked way cool. I remember stopping to help put out a 
flaming Oldsmobile in a McDonald's parking lot one night (another great 
story I need to dig out of the archives sometime :-) and the Cutlass, with 
its headlight flashers going, looked right at home alongside the other 
unmarked cop cars that mysteriously came out of the darkness when help was 
needed.

Ob. Disclaimer: yes, the gadget was pretty illegal the way I had it, don't 
do this at home, it's always fun until somebody puts an eye out, etc.

>One major exception that seems very common here in southwestern Connecticut
>is flashing to tell a opposing driver who's trying to make a turn in front
>of you that you will wait for him/her to complete their turn.

It's common practice in Europe, as is flash-to-pass on the motorways, 
although technically I think it's illegal over there (the "after you" usage, 
that is, not the flash-to-pass).

>Flash yer lights at me all you want; I'M NOT MOVING until I'm
>certain there's no traffic coming my way  ;o\

You betcha; it's always _your_ responsibility to drive safely, regardless of 
how many people are waving you over the cliff.

Except that you didn't know what the dielectric constant of petroleum jelly
is. Now that such nice things as silicone based dielectric tune-up grease
exists, for spark plug wire terminals and other applications, that would be
the preferred terminal protector of choice to prevent corrosion.

I thought we were talking about a corroded fusebox here... Certainly I'm not 
suggesting that you go wiping it on circuit boards...  :-)  I routinely use 
the stuff on battery terminals, bulb sockets and the like, all with good 
results.

That also depends on where you live. It's not illegal in Arizona. The only
vehicle lights, flashing or unflashing, that are illegal in Arizona are
"red" and "blue", as per Arizona Revised Statute. Anything else is okay.

Also, in some places where the idiots completely ignore standard warning
hazard flashers, alternative flashing headlights can be a lifesaver.

It doesn't matter. You still do not want *any* resistance in the circuit.
That's the neat thing about the silicone dielectric grease. It causes no
resistance in the circuit while being a 100% moisture barrier. It's amazing
stuff.

I saw the following AP article come across MSNBC.com in November, thought
I'd share ....

Judge Dismisses Headlight Flashing Citation
Posted: 11/04/2003 9:59:37 AM

A Williamson County judge has dismissed a Franklin police citation against
a man who warned other drivers of a speed trap.

He flashed his lights at them.

Harley "Bill" Walker says it cost him about a thousand dollars to appeal a
City Court judge's ruling against him. County Judge Russ Heldman yesterday
ruled Walker was right about the citation violating his free speech
guarantees.

Officer Chris Marlowe wrote him a ticket for interfering with a police
officer's duties on August 14th. The Franklin city police chief has now
written a memo to officers, telling them not to cite drivers for flashing
their lights in warning.

Heldman invited appeal of his ruling, saying it's an issue scholars may
want to investigate.

For his part, Walker is pleased to win his case, but says he'll flash only
his brights next time. He says the only way Marlowe knew he was flashing
his lights was because his tail lights were going on and off.

Or you could still flash your lights if you lightly put you foot on the brake while doing the flashing. I don't like putting my brights into people's eyes if I don't have to. The on/off is a little better.

Greetings fellow Oldsmobile nuts.

I just wanted to post that long time Olds enthusiast, Carlo Cola  passed this 
morning at the age of 71.

For those who did not know him,  he was a very active part of the Oldsmobile 
Club of America and was also a co-founder of the Antique Oldsmobile Club.   He 
has restored many cars including a 1941 Phaeton which is still in his garage.

I am a close friend of his son Tommy, and if anyone wants to send their 
condolences, send them to me and I will forward them to him.

Thank you

Vinny

No, he wasn't flashing his brights, he was flashing his lights. Turning them on and off with the headlight switch. Unless your foot is on the brake, the tailights go off when the headlights/parking lights go all the way off.

On the rare occasions when I've done this, I'm usually driving with parking 
lights and foglights on anyway (especially in the minivan, a white whale of 
a Trans Sport that seems to be invisible otherwise). I can discreetly blink 
the foglights off and on via their separate switch, without interrupting the 
running lights and taillights at the back.

I've done it before with the cop on the other side of the road. I went by
him as he was gunning me, somebody warned me and I returned the favor. What
are the chances (in every day driving) that you actually get caught. Except
for the unfortunate who started this thread. Of course the cops gonna be
pi**ed off. Its the defiant who will fight it anyway. The cop is thinking
you won't fight it and you will be one less person to warn others again.

See, this is part of the problem, he was yanking the lights completely off
and on.  When I flash (headlights, that is) I alternate between the
headlights on and parking lights only detents... so the rear lights stay
on (unless my switch is broken).

   I knew Carlo vey well, it was so sad, the last time I saw him was at the 
Antique Olds show in Mansfield Mass in 2001. He was in a wheelchair and could 
hardly communicate with us. A true Oldsmobile man with a love for the 1941, all 
models. 
    He will be missed in the hobby.
