[Shop-talk] Reviving a carb

[eric at megageek.com]

Just a follow up.

I bought the "Gunk" brand "paint can-o-cleaning for carbs.  about 1 hour 
in there and the carb runs great!   I wish I would have know about this 
stuff YEARS ago!

Thanks to all for the suggestions!

Turpentine or other "not so fast" evaporating distillate should be fine,
assuming there were no plastic parts in there.

OK, so I borrowed a rototiller from a friend that hasn't used it in years.

Besides the exhaust valve being stuck (I fixed that,) the carb seems to be
varnished.

I dissembled it and cleaned everything that I could reach.  It seems there
isn't much access to the insides of this carb (it's a small B&S motor.)

So, is there a product I can leave the carb soaking in for a while to 
break
up the old gas? 

I leave for Iraq in a few weeks and I wanted to rototill before I left. 

Thanks.
