hmm thats a wierd one, im just gonna throw this out there, maybe the aluminum is actually corroding, probably once there is gas introduced itll stop. maybe someone else here will hava better idea what it is.

I came by this on the net "gas water and oil turn white[/b] when mixed" I dont know how true it is. Nice tattoo btw

Looks like typical aluminum corrosion to me. Usually it's clear, but with the right texture it can look white. That, or its just risidual buildup from whatever you're cleaning with. I wouldn't worry about it

Not to worry. It will not hurt the performance of your engine. I rebuild 2100-4300 carbs and sell them on Eabay.

kalli

wouldn't worry either. waht are you cleaning with ?

musnicki

Maybe when you're done cleaning it soak that part in gas over night?
