    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

OK. I can't find berrymans, or Gunk carb dip ANYWHERE!!!
I work in a chemical warehouse. I've got xylene, toluene, methanol, glycol. All kinds of solvents. So....

Can I use any other stuff to dip and clean my carbs in????
 
I'd use any of the carb dips you find at your local automobile parts house. Here in the U.S. I go to my local NAPA store. Any good cleaner will have some oleic acid in it. It gets into the imbedded stuff on the parts.

If you brush or scrub any heavy deposits of the outside of the carb's before disassembly it will prevent the contamination of the cleaner. I've reused the can I got several years ago many times. LOL
 
That's the problem, can't find ANY carb dips.

Hmm.. Don't have oleic acid...
 
Canadian Tire MUST have a dip of some kind. I was amazed by that place when I was up there! A Wal-Mart for just cars!
 
I clean clocks with naptha (lighter fluid) and use it on brass, any solvent, tooth brushes, and twist ties to clean out the jets, those and some spray carb cleaner and elbow grease and compressed air should work. no rubber parts please...

any ultra-sound equipment available? that's a possibility also.
 
lacquer thinners works for me. Just let'r soak. Not for rubber though.
Cheap & available at any hardware store here in Canada or the U.S.
