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.

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.

Im getting ready to dip my carbs and i heard berrymans works really good. At the local napa i found b-12 fuel treatment, which says cleans carbs. My question is since it doesnt say carb dip on it can i use it to dip them and how long should they sit in it. If not i could only get a gallon of gunk carb dip, not sure how good it works though.

If you have an Orielly's auto parts near you, they stock Berrymans carb dip. It is nice because it comes with a fine mesh stainless steel basket for putting all of your parts in, including the smallest screws. I used it for cleaning my VN29's and it worked beautifully.

If you can find Gunk brand, go ahead and use it. I have used both and can find no difference in performance.

I thought B-12 was berrymans.

Yes, B-12 is a Berryman product, but so are many others.
That's like hearing everybody say that you need a Chevy, but all you can find is a Camaro.

I think he's talking about the stuff you dump in the gas tank.

B-12 is a gasoline additive that claims to clean the system. Chevron's Techron is another. Marvel Mystery Oil is another. STP is another. You get the picture.
What you are looking for is Berryman's B-9 Carb Cleaner Dip in a gallon-size can (that has about 3 quarts of fluid in it).

Fyi

They no longer come with a steel basket. Plastic :( But still small nuf holes to put tiny parts in :) Just in case a newbie finds this thread and wonders if they got the right stuff.
 
I used the Gunk, it worked great. Comes with the metal basket. Not quite a gallon though, but it held 2 naked carb bodies, which cut down on time spent stinking up the kitchen :)
