Default Re: Holley Carb. plating

My first brainstorm has been to put a wire rack about two inches high in the bottom of a 5 gallon pail for the test part to sit on. The sprayer would be powered by a little aquarium pump. Two plastic hoses would be run through the sides of the bucket. The input would pull fuel from the bottom of the tank. The output would spray fuel onto the part to be tested. An inch or two of gas would be poured into the bucket.

There would be two holes in the lid. One would attach to a CO2 bottle. The other would be a vent hole. A squirt from the CO2 bottle would purge the air out by replacing it with CO2. The vent hole would be plugged, then the CO2 connector would be removed and replaced with a plug.

I was thinking of testing the sprayer by: Putting a spark generator in place of the part, Putting a very small amount of fuel in the bucket, Setting bucket in the backyard, Waiting a few hour, Then setting of the spark generator.
