White spirit is a turpentine substitute, used for paint thinning, in the US if
I remember right, it's known as "denatured alcohol", or at least it was when
I bought some to use in my camping stove a couple of years back.
Don't use a petroleum based thing, like "white gas", which I'm assuming is
some kind of pure gasolean, because a) it won't mix well, and b) it might
explode.
I found mine in the paints department of a large store somewhere near lake
Tahoe, if that helps. (I guess you should be able to find it all over the
place)
>>>My Haynes book says to clean the points in the regulator with 1."fine

>>>Going on it says"use emery paper or carborundum paper on the regulator

Different kinds of abrasive stuck to the paper or cloth. I'm not sure what
the ordering is in terms of hardness, but you should be able to find out
from a good old fashioned hardware store somewhere.
