donmurray Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 What is the best way to remove oil and carbon buildup in an aluminum expansion chamber. I understand caustic soda will damage alum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donmurray Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 In searching for cleaning methods I found some use Seafoam DeepCreep decarbonizing treatment for 2 stroke engines. Mostly the outboard motor group. Has anyone used this to decoke an engine or the exhaust system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 A long half mile wheelie, top gear blast up a dirt road at almost full throttle usually get my exhaust "on fire" and ususally burns up a lot of crap that gets stuck in there. Though I don't recommend the wheelie, it ends in embarassment sometimes lol, tank slapper I mean ergh... I'm not sure if that's good for my bike or not but it seems to run cleaner and freer afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donmurray Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 We have a plan. About 2 gals of diesel mixed with one can of Seafoam. Submerge the expansion chamber or silencer in pan of that mix and check it every few hours. Since diesel itself has a cleaning agent, I figure it plus the Seafoam will do the job. I'll let you know in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
