This Week in Paddy's Garage - July 15, 2023 - SU H1 Parts Carb Clean-up

Another week is over, so time for a recap of the progress on Ms. Scarlet. I was out of town until Friday so not much was accomplished other than clean-up and dismantling of my “Parts” SU H1 carbs.
 
✔️ Soak the entire set in EvapORust overnight.
✔️ Spray with Dawn and scrub with detailing brushes.
✔️ Soak in parts cleaner and spray with carb cleaner.
✔️ Wipe down and remove the manifold & heatshield.
✔️ Check out a 1098 cylinder head’s suitability for use in Scarlet. 🤔
✔️ Sand and paint the heatshield.
✔️ Sand and paint the heater core box.
 
Next week I’ll finish the heater/blower components and pack away until I’m ready to install. Then start on removing the master cylinder and hydraulic lines.
