Carter YS Carburetor M38 YS-637

Hi guys,

Looking to rebuild my YS carb and found this thread. Looking for the Carter Carb manual. I checked for the Engine section in the Downloads but didn't see it. Anyone have a PDF manual that would cover both the 637 and the 950?

Thanks for any help

Steve

Re: Cleaning Douglas Connectors

Hey Ron,

Great points. I am asking as I am planning on cleaning and reusing what I have. For the most part they are in good/usable condition however, they do need to be cleaned and replated, if anyone knows a way to do it 'home-brew' style. I have done a bit of research on the different home ...

Cleaning Douglas Connectors

Since this thread was started has anyone landed on any chemical process - commercially purchased and/or homemade solution - to get the old connectors cleaned enough to replate?
