Re: good carb cleaner
It would probably work somewhat, but why not just buy the stuff that's intended to clean carbs? I think the cheap O'Reilly stuff works just as good as the Gumout brand for spray can cleaners. If you really want a good cleaning, buy the 1 gallon bucket that has a parts basket inside. Just make sure that you don't put any plastic or rubber parts in it because they won't come back out! The soaking bucket is best for carburetors that haven't been used for several years because in addition to being a wicked-nasty corrosive, it can seep into passageways that might otherwise go untouched by the spray can stuff.
