Too toxic for the EU (like anything decent).

Alternatives are to boil your carbs in a saucepan with a single drop of fairy liquid (2 drops and it'll froth all over the hob) - wait till the missus is out and don't ever use th saucepan for cooking again (unless you like the taste of petrol).

Cellulose paint thinners is a good standby as well (remove all rubber parts as they'll swell up).

Hammyhog, I was wondering what the chemical is , as my job is Cornwall chemical sales rep for dairy and agruculture, my suppliers may have a chemical i can use, i have access to alkalines, acid, caustic, phosphuros, etc etc , any ideas ??? heard about lemon juice boiled in water too !!!

i use mistral concentrated carb cleaner in my ultra sonic cleaning tank. works wonders

Strong solvents are the best bet - you're trying to dissolve old fuel varnish / wax. The best stuff I ever had was a thinner used to thin ink in the newspaper printing business (I got a couple of gallons for free). No idea what its chemical name was but it would knock your head off if you breathed it in.

Acids and alkalis are a bad idea for carb cleaning. At best they'll tarnish the pot metal and at worst they'll start dissolving things. I've never tried boiling in lemon juice but some guys reckon that it turned their carbs black.

I,m seriously thinking of getting an ultrsonic tank very soon, i already do small mirror polishing jobs, so a cleaner would be a beneficial addition, cheers jon

That great, when do you have to change the fluid, what i mean is just say how many carbs till the fluid is ineffective and needs changing ? and where do you get your concentrates from

buy it in 1 litre bottles. dilutes 1:10 solution/water. 1 bath will do 4 carbs, 1 at a time. concentrates are readilly available on ebay
