I am now looking at a product called spray Nine Industrial Scrub. I have yet to find it but does anyone know if this stuff is good to go?

Never tried the stuff. Another stuff I have used is Castrol Super Clean. Comes in those purple bottles at the parts store. Keep in mind, it will remove EVERYTHING. Including the plating on the carb parts.

It turns out that the Spray Nine product is not available anywhere. AAARGHH!! Its okay that everything gets cleaned off since there is no plating on the carbs.
This hunt for something to clean these carbs is getting ridiculous.

If you do go the Castrol Super Clean route, just let it sit overnight in the liquid. Then, wash it off with water.

do any of you guys have access to repair shop or other garage. 20 years ago we got hot water washer. they hold 250 gallons and we put 2 1/2 gallons of powder(its sold by little giant )it smells like orange peel.anyway when were washing our parts we just through the carb in and 15 mins later it comes out clean. then we take the carb apart and put it back in .we also have access to a glass beader. i tried superclean .i think if you left it in too long it would the carb. simple green works fairly well.but it to tries to eat off the coating.i guess i have access to a lot of good things.hope this helps someone.forgot to say we run the washers at 180 degrees

If I cannot find Castrol Super Clean would Purple Power be okay? I thought that Purple Power was harmful to carb parts?
