Carb Coating

[UpStandingMember]

Can you make a cover for the inlet of the air cleaner/canister ?

With the carb sealed to the intake, and sealed to the air cleaner/canister, I don't understand why it rusts like that.

I'd still try coating it with something. You can always take it back off if it runs like crap. But I think a cover (at the air inlet of the air cleaner) might help.

Either the carb or the air cleaner would have to come off.

As long as it run a lot I don't think it will be a major problem in either area, we rebuild a lot of these older carbs at work and since most people only fire up their antique tractors once in a great while they get pretty nasty inside from time to time. There has been a lot of interest in doing something like this but nobody knows of any way to do it.

I am putting a belly mower on this thing to mow my yard so it should hopefully get enough runtime throughout the summer to keep it from happening again. Hopefully a rolling stone grows no rust
