No, charcoal lighter. The stuff you pour on the coals to cook steak on the out door grill.
I used it years ago to clean automotive carbs although I didnt soak the parts for long.
If I remember correctly it did a pretty good job.

seems that there is more than one product that I'm not aware of...
Here in Belgium, we don't pour stuff or fluids on our coals for BBQ...
maybe the occasional hairdryer for speeding things up but that's it...
(or maybe an additional teaspoon of herbs that make the neighbour jealous)

Go to your local Yamaha dealer and get a container of Yamaha Carb Cleaner.

Good suggestion

If you want them done correctly send them to me & I will put them in my ultrasonic cleaner. That is the BEST way I have ever found yet to clean carbs!

There are quite a few places now offering this service here, but I wondered how good/reliable an ultrasonic cleaning would be, as compared to physically checking & cleaning out all jets & orifices....do they come out 100% clean?
