Amazing. You can tell this dude is smart, but easy to listen to.

When I did my MGA carbs, I blasted them with crushed walnut shell media, and then rubbed them with some Simichrome polish. This gave me the clean aluminum look I was after similar to what you achieved.

Great video John. Thanks.. By the way, it is not the engineers who will say "you ruined the lines" it will be the armchair mechanics and "know-it-all's".. Good seeing you online again.. 👍👍

I'm needing to do this on the hs4s in my spitfire. I really like that tool you're using. Where can I find one?

Far easier to VAPOR BLAST , and results look better than new , and it only takes about three minutes to have a perfectly bright clean carb body , and as for the throttle shaft bushings , their not CAST IN , i use a threading tap to pull them out , and after the new bushing are installed I also put an O-RING ON THE SHAFT so it is air tight , you might want to try those more modern methods.

Do you have more information on the fluid used in the tumbler and the stones?
