I'm needing to buy some Varsol or carb cleaner to pour into a 5 gallon bucket to do a carb rebuild but don't know where to buy it. Do auto parts places sell it or do they sell carb cleaner thats not in a spray can? Thanks

Varsol is available at any home building center, or any place that sells paints. It is a common paint solvent and cleaner.

That is good stuff for carb work... Dont leave any plastics or what on on there.. It will eat it like butter...

Varsol is better for like a parts washer

Auto Zone sells Berrymans in the gal pail with the strainer basket for $20.00 works great!

Varsol is (was) a brand name for mineral spirits. It is available at most any hardware store.
