Fred,

I have always used naphtha for cleaning oily or greasy parts. I dont know if 
this
stuff is compatable with your parts cleaning pump. I know I have seen this
recommendation somewhere in a Triumph manual. I dont have a parts washer but
using the old brush method, after cleaning the part, I just blow off the part
with compressed air and the naphtha evaporates at just the right rate leaving 
the
part clean and bone dry. I get my supply by the gallon at Lowes for about $7.00
or so.
