Could it be? Some time ago there was a question about carb cleaners from someone who couldn't find Berrymans. I haven't tried this myself, but I'm impressed. These are photos from a thread on an adventure motorcycle site. Motorcycles spend their winters in the garage along with lawn equipment, so they have almost annual problems with gummed carburetors. After some years of crap on top of crap they add up to be pretty big problems. So some of those guys are soaking their carburetors in Pine Sol, either straight or dilluted 2-1 with water, and getting this:
Before: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/klrworld.com-2618-1278772762.1.JPG) After: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/klrworld.com-2618-1278772763.2.JPG) Closer: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/klrworld.com-2618-1278772764.3.JPG) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/klrworld.com-2618-1278772765.4.JPG) From the photos I wouldn't be able to tell you that wasn't done in a real tank. What's especially impressive is that it's not supposed to damage rubber or plastic parts, which is astounding to me. The whole thread is here: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=560117 I repeat I haven't tried this myself, but I'm going to, Real Soon Now. . |
