Carb Cleaner Tips

[dsinger]

I was wondering what everyone is using for Carb cleaning. I normally use Berimans carb dip and let them soak works great on all others. I have found the suzuki carbs have that white stuff in them often. This may just be because I normally dont see salt water motors but it seems the metal on the suzuki carbs get that white stuff on them every time I see one. A 24hr soak will not get it off. What is the easiest way you all have found to get it off. I even soaked the bowl in a b12 spray stuff the eats everything still nothing. You can scrap it off with your nail but takes forever to get on clean with a pick, air, and razor.

I that white stuff normal on older salt water motors or is just the suzuki metal.

Old, I mean OLD carbs used to get white crap in them from water laying in them. Looked like a jellyfish when fresh and wet, but turned to hard to powdery deposits when dry. Carbs in those days were made of some kind of zinc or pot metal, I dunno exactly what. Neither do I know what Suzuki uses.

Dunno...have you tried that CLR stuff/product that removes hard water and lime deposits? Acetone? A good stiff cussin' from the MIL? If you try the acetone, proceed with care...nasty stuff.
