Carb Cleaner Parts Dipper ?

<< < (2/2)

Cliff Ruggles:
Currently available "dips" and carb cleaners are marginal at best for performance.  You can do just as well with mineral spirits and some soft brass and nylon brushes. 

Compressed air is a must, to blow gunk out of passages, and manual cleaning with small drill bits or wire is also a good idea.....Cliff

NICE!

I think your first link is misquoted since they are both the same.  Being that I have seen the pricing go from $22 to $40 for the 960z cleaners I like the Pinesol method as I then can afford more of Cliff's stuff !  I think I may go to the GoodWill store and look for some old cooking pots and maybe something to use as a stainer.

Sorry about that. Try this regarding the 2 types of Berryman.

No big deal.

I went the way of getting some PineSol.  Costco had a 1.5 gallon (175 ounces) for $10.  DollarTree had a bucket and some brushes.  Wally had a metal colander for $4 and a coat hanger for a handle.  I'm good to go for under $20 bucks.
