suitable cleaners for carb cleaning (dipping)

[GS750]

Well I got it Pete, 946ml's lol Not too sure about boiling it though, I think I want to be as careful as I can with this stuff :O Says on the label some scarey stuff about the chemicals :O cancer, birth defects, reproductive harm.... but Im not too sure why anyone would be using it on their genitals lmfao!

Anyways, the label says prepare solution by diluting 1 part concentrate with 2 parts water and to use only in an enclosed solvent cleaning tank or related equipment "DO NOT PUT IN FUEL TANK" heheehhehe Yeah I guess there are people out there who WOULD be stupid enough!!!

Will get to try it out on my spare carbs hopefully in the next week or so but the guy at my Yamahaha boat store where I got it assured me that it is the ducks nuts! He also said not to boil it as the vapours are explosive :O

Errr... oooops... well I didn't explode

I had a pedestal fan in the garage blowing straight at it to push the fumes out of the garage and it was still bad... I guess just soaking will be ok, but leaving things to soak overnight for me is nigh on impossible, so the 2 hours of boiling was my only real option...

Good luck though, you should find it's great stuff

I couldn't find anything decent available here in Finland so I went and bought an ultrasonic cleaner with some carb cleaning fluid. Hopefully that does the trick. What parts should I get before I explode the carbs? O-ring set probably, but what else? The bike is -78 GS750.

Use diesel

Like you said, we don`t have Barrymans carbdip here in Scandinavia, but there are other ways. I got some strong acid for cleaning aluminium. But the result was that the carbs where ruin. Had to buy some new carb. Cleaned them with diesel. Good as new.

I would be careful wiht the boiling tip, as well as the lemon tip. Acid liquid can easy destroy rust protection.

But hey.. I`m not an expert, just sharing my experience

Here is the result from acid dip:
