Default Re: Carb Rebuild

Based on a recommendation from a friend, I started using PineSol as a carb dip. I just pick it up at the grocery store and mix it 50/50 with water in a plastic paint bucket. I have been using the same batch for about a year now. It works surprisingly well and does not harm plastic parts (on carbs for newer machines).

I've never noticed any problems with brass parts. It can be a little weird on aluminum parts (feels like it leaves a coating), so I don't leave aluminum carb in it for more than a few hours. Zeniths I have left submerged for several days with no trouble... Okay, I will admit, I had forgotten I put it in there...
