Hello all, I am rebuilding a zenith carburetor off of a 190. The problem I am having is that I will not be putting the carb on the tractor for a while (1 month or so) and it seems like when I get it cleaned up the thing rusts inside very quickly. If I was going to put it back on the tractor immediately I wouldn't worry about it, but I don't want rust in the system. Any ideas what I could put on it to keep it from rusting that would be ok to run when I an ready to use it?

COAT IT WITH PNETRATING OIL WILL HELP

Ok thanks. I read somewhere to coat with wd-40 then seal it in a ziplock bag. Guess I will try it!

I use a 50:50 mix of WD40 and light oil in a spray bottle on my parts that I don't want to rust and are in out of the weather. Seems to be good for several years with no rust problems. I'm in the somewhat humid midwest too.
