1987 85hp force - Carb spray cleaner

[cairngorms]

Im looking to give the fuel system an overhaul over this weekend - replace primer bulb and fuel filter. I have also order seafoam but this isn't due to arrive until sometime next week - Is ther an alternative carb cleaner/spray that is generally available?

The fuel line is integral to the internal tank on a bayliner capri and I would also like to replace this line but i have no idea how to remove this from the integral tank, any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks again.......

Don't know your location but Sea Foam and Deep Creap are avaliable at NAPA auto parts. Follow the line, it's undoutably doable.

the best way i found to clean the carbs is buying a gallon of gunk parts cleaner, remove the floats and needles and soak overnight, they will come out looking new and clean as a new one out of box inside and out, just hit them with some compressed air to clear it out and youre good to go. this stuff is sold at auto part stores

The only time you should use carb cleaner on those is when they're off the engine and disassembled. You don't want that in your engine. They will damage the seals also.
