martinm Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Anyone got any simple ideas for removing the crud that builds up when 2 stroke has been left in the bottom of a carb ???? This is a fine example of what I am talking about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) Gday, Throttle body cleaner, available in spray cans, from anywhere that sells car parts etc. Dont use it on plastics/ O rings etc so strip the carb completely first.

shercoman2k8 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Block off any overflows, put the carb back together, fill with fuel from the inlet, put your thumb over the fuel inlet and shake like mad. Then dismantle, spray some wd40 on there and leave to soak in for 30 minutes or so, then should wipe off with a cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I hate trying to use arisols when one is that grunged up. One can waste a lot just trying to blast away, not to mention the splaater! A small(covered) tin with acetone, MEK, or laquer thinner and a good soak should soften things up. Even fresh fuel can help. Gloves!!!!!

motofire Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) Ultrasonic cleaner. Yes...This way. It even works with water or denatured alcohol. That carb is clean compared to the on my bench right now. Edited March 16, 2010 by motofire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
