I got carb kits just clean and freshen up the webbers on the 6 engine while it is out of the car. Well, when I opened them up I found in one float bowl some crusty yellowish white stuff. I sprayed with some carb cleaner brushed it with a tooth brush wiped it out and blew it with some air and more white crust appeared. What is this and how do I get rid of it? This stuff could obviously clog up jets, which is no good.

I also found that one of the floats is dented, like some PO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) droped it and steped on it, I floats though, should I be concerned about that?


TIA,
Mike D.
