Carb dip in Canada?

[JEEPRUSTY]

What I said get you al the essential chenistry.
Bite the bullet and be a man about this.

Berryman;s is weak crap anyway,

Yeah right


Yamaha doesn't have it in Canada.It's in the OP.Watching other dip thread there was a heavy suggestion not to boil it.

You will note I said SIMMER in my reply not BOIL the solution.

I have heard of using Simply Green and some have soaked the carbs in PineSol. This would be the one with pine oil in it as it will not damage o-ring or plastic parts. Some have used Ultra sonic cleaners as well.

Did Pine Sol on my 750's carbs.They weren't nearly as bad as these.

Partsource carries a product called "Releasall" a degreaser that seemed to work well for my carbs (though they didn't seem that dirty to begin with). It comes in a 4L Black jug. I think I've seen it at TSC and Canadian Tire as well but I can't remember for sure. It seemed to be safe on any rubber and plastic parts that it contacted as it is biodegradable.


For cleaning thicker stuff (like in the corners of the float bowls), and for the passages I used Gunk carb cleaner in an aerosol can. Make sure you get a can with the straw attachment and make sure you WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. It sounds like a geek thing to say but you definitely don't want a clogged jet splashing carb cleaner back in your eye and screwing up your vision for the rest of your life.

Did this on my first go round on the 750 carbs.The stuff you mention sounds not much stronger than Pine Sol.

You will note I said SIMMER in my reply not BOIL the solution.

Mute point as I can't get it here.The idea of heating a dip gives me shutters as well.

Been looking,asking and generally being frustrated trying to find it here.Checked Yamaha Canada's site for they'res.Nothing.No stores seem to have it.Would guess the mail would not be happy shipping it+the $ to would be prohibitive.Suggestions are welcome,border hopping on Vancouver Island is cost prohibitive to

SV,

if I'm reading your post correctly you are still looking for KleenFlo. I ended up getting a 4L jug from NAPA in Vancouver. The 4L DOES NOT come with the parts basket, though, and yes...it stinks to high heaven. Wearing gloves and a Tyvek suit didn't help either.

i think lordco caries a parts dip as well. i can check for you tomorrow when i get to work if you like, sv.

also a friend of mine suggested boiling it in a mixture of water and vinegar.

Seen the basket thing.Been thinking what to use.If JB Auto doesn't have or get it I'll check Napa.

Asked the local Lordco.Said I could only get the bigger sizes.To lazy to check or get it in?

[Raid3n]

probably too lazy to find it and order it in, cause i have it in my store haha.

victoria doesn't show any of it, but they can transfer it from my store.

it's from kleen flo and comes in a 4L can. you'll need something to put it in to do the dip, though.

line code is 177
part number is 651

tell them you were quoted 46.19

and that they can transfer it from store 69.

if they have any issues they can call me. my name is morgan.

SV: I've been exploring using an old sieve and a paint bucket for dipping. The trick is finding metal screening without any plastic coating.

Raid3N...are you a coastal GSer as well?

[Raid3n]

i'm in burnaby.

Thanks Morgan,they actually the guy there told me they could only get the 5 and 20 gallon sizesDid go to JB here and they have it at they're warehouse.Price was a bit higher but with the attitude I got at the local Lordco store I'm not really wanting much to do with them.Company I work for has a account at JB so can get some $ off that way.

[Raid3n]

ahh that's unfortunate, but i can understand.

if you ever find yourself in coquitlam and needing parts, come to my store and mention gsr and i'll make sure you get a good deal ;D

As far as something to dip in goes, I went to my local thrift store and bought an old stainless steel pot that had it's own basket and lid. works great! Thx, Randy.
