anyone out there know of a chemical to clean up a nasty carb without damaging the air bleeds? Stronger than carb cleaner that is.
NAPA used to sell “pettisol 202(?) in the 60’s. If it stayed on your fingers longer than a minute or so they started wrinkling from all the moisture coming out. Boy that stuff worked.Years ago, mid 60's, they sold a carb cleaner with a metal case were you could put the carb in after you took it apart and now could do a good job cleaning. I don't remember the name or any other details but it was a great product in its day. I do remember it had a basket so after cleaning, lift it up and cleaner would drain.
Yeah, the good stuff (like "Carb Medic") would take the hide off ya if you left it on long.NAPA used to sell “pettisol 202(?) in the 60’s. If it stayed on your fingers longer than a minute or so they started wrinkling from all the moisture coming out. Boy that stuff worked.
Yes, I have a can of that and the berryman. Both do just fine I think, and I've rebuilt some nasty carbs lately. I also usually let the pieces soak over night, clean with an old toothbrush and compressed air ...Has anyone tried the GUNK carb cleaner in a big *** can lately?
That stuff used to be the mac daddy. Wonder if the EPA got to them, too?

if your going to powder coat the thing, then you could use any of the regular carb cleaning methods followed by masking off the interior really well (so as not to damage it) and then just sandblast the outside. just a thought. most of the heavier duty carb cleaning mentioned here are meant to restore the carburetor to its original aluminum surface finish, and without etching or damaging the aluminum in any way.THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS, I WILL CHECK THEM ALL OUT AND PRICE AN ULTRASONIC, WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS SOMETHING TO STRIP THE METAL ENOUGH TO POWDER COAT
Ultrasonic cleaners with tank 6 liter minimum for AFB's, cheap ones $110 and quality? I'd look for a place that does it in house.THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS, I WILL CHECK THEM ALL OUT AND PRICE AN ULTRASONIC, WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS SOMETHING TO STRIP THE METAL ENOUGH TO POWDER COAT
