Polishing this Filthy S&S Super E Carburetor Off A Built Shovelhead | Step by Step

Good stuff 👍 👍 Caleb would probably call that carb the one thousand dollar carb 😝 …at minimum. But yes, still worth every penny of time spent on it considering the alternative. Two questions: 1. What do you, good doctor, think about initially using a sonic cleaner in order to get much of the crud off, thereby lessening the time spent on initial grime removal? Seen the old gray-beard, Pacific Mike, applying the services of his new one to great satisfaction recently. 2. What about just using the nifty little Dremel? It seems as though the Dremel “OEM” collar, utilized on THE actual Dremel would maybe be less of a threat in regards to nicking the surface than that adapter set-up. It somehow seems as though that Milwaukee unit, as nice as it is, is a little more cumbersome to handle for finesse work than a Dremel would be. It’s just a thought. Lookin’ forward to the progression of the slow-build 😎 From Southern California ~ Ride Forever! 🦅

Thanks for the kind words! You’re definitely right in regards to both those points. At some point I’m sure I’ll get an ultrasonic cleaner and an actual dremel would for sure be a bit less sketchy to work with. I debated getting one for this project but since I don’t need a dremel very often I went with the little adapter piece for my Milwaukee tool instead.

Do you know any carpol tunnel surgeons, LOL??. Nice work on the shorty!

[@drmikemerkt]

Thanks! Where about are you located? Just a few weeks ago I was talking to a friend about getting the procedure done actually

@@drmikemerkt I'm in M'boro Tn, Mine CT isn't that bad except when it is. I was implying that you would need one soon doing that hand polishing-----and I was right LOL!!

Might be time to invest in a buff and some cloth wheels and compound. Looks good, but so much fiddly work.

For sure, I don't have the room in my current garage, we're working to hopefully be able to buy something bigger somewhat soon.
