    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.

Hi gents,

living in Australia its very hard to get the potions you guys in the USA get - my yamalube is tired, its the water soluble one and i've dipped carbs in it 5times over 3 years.....so I'm looking for something, as i cant find yamalube in stock anywhere at present.

I hope you guys might be able to tell me if this is any good... its cheap at $49 aussie dollars for 5 litres ... not that i am after cheap, but its the only thing i can find with ingredients listed in this sort of size, and a dip not a spray

- so not many options, however i have found this stuff
http://www.sydneysolvents.com.au/throttle-body-cleaner-5-litre

its ingredients are listed as 30-80% acetone, 30-80% toluene, and 20-30% methanol

there is this one too but its only 1000ml and $68 and doesn't say what's in it , but does sound strong in that they say you have to remove seals and membranes http://www.motorex.com/en-us/moto-line/cleaner/carburetor-clean/

your thoughts or other ideas would be greatly appreciated ?

thanks
Grant

Both of those products look good. Use in a well ventilated area given the strong solvents in the first one.
