Aerosol carb cleaner will blast external <br>oil/grime off the bodies and linkages as it (what we get in the UK anyway) <br>is more powerful than other aerosols. But it won't shine them up, just <br>leave the alloy much the same as it was before they got mucky i.e. anything <br>from polished to oxidised.<br><br>If you want to go further you can take the covers off, noting which came off <br>each carb, and take the pistons out - carefully - again noting which came <br>from each carb. The carb cleaner will blast black combustion residue off <br>both in my experience, and from the inside of the body. There is a slight <br>risk of pushing something into the jets that shouldn't be there with that <br>last part, unless you plug them with something like a toothpick perhaps.<br><br>PaulH.<br><br>----- Original Message ----- <br><br>> What is a good way to clean SU carbs without removing them?<br>><br><br>_______________________________________________<br><br>Mgs@autox.team.net<br>Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/mgs http://autox.team.net/archive<br><br>Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/palte@gmx.net<br></body></html>
