I have never heard of this before but I was checking out the website of a guy near by that does dust less blasting. It's called vapor honing and uses a liquid and abrasive of some sort, they claim it won't harm rubber or plastic parts but you can see the results on the carburetor. Maybe worth looking into, he says $35.00 for a small carb.

"Vapor honing" is a misleading name. Why don't they just call it "liquid blasting" or something that will indicate what is actually happening?

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

Is the name a marketing gimmick?

No, that's a picture from the guy that does the blasting.
