Found this interesting article, after doing a google search on carburetor soaking..

Wondering if anyone here has experience with this?
Update: search shows that LA Mike mentioned this in February, 2014...
and early in 2013 a discussion by Dads FJ re Ultrasonic cleaners
Still, interesting, and reasonably low cost.

I recall seeing LA Mike working on his carbs at the 2014 WCR

Yes PineSol does work...and smells good to :biggrin:
I used it on Yamaha Vision down draft carbs a few years back...Dropped them in to a dip tank, (read candy jar!!) and left them to soak for 48 hours or so...remove, blow dry, rebuild, eye sync, reinstall and VOILA!!!
However, my brother bought one of those new fangled bzzzzz/bubble/heated units...add a good solvent and a way better VOILA can be achieved :lol: :rofl2: :biggrin:
John.
p s Use regular PineSol...not lemon, etc.

FYI, no carbs were hurt in this process, I was only supervising and handing Mike tools as he needed them, like the Left handed kabitzer-fitzer.... Not sure what is but seemed to work... I hope Mike can back me up on this....
