You wouldnt happen to have a solvent tank / parts washer i could come over and use for a bit would ya?

I have one. If you leave now I'll be home from work by the time you get here.

ya think lol... lets seee march afb would be ohhhhh a good 4hr drive after fighting with all the so cal traffic.. i think ill pass I have one sittin in our garage in arizona i just havent brought it back yet till i buy a place out here..

sorry dude, I have a bead blasting cabinet and a pressure washer, but not a parts washer... I just use brake parts cleaner on the gravel in my front yard

Or old pre mix in the garbage can

I don't really have one. I'm just in one of those moods cause I got up at 8am to ride Glen Helen. I've pissie ever since I got to work, even giving the boss crap. But were good.

I think I'll start a Pinnacle thread, spill it.

no worries.. I just figured the man with everything else in his garage would have one of those ...

Justin has access to a badass parts washer and large blasting cabinet and presses, etc. at his dads work, ask him, I'm sure he wouldn't mind running a couple things through the parts washer for you. He bead blasted my whole gen-1 frame for me!

i just need to tear apart my carb and rebuild it.. no wories ill just go grab a bucket brush and hit up the hardware store for some mineral spirits

carb cleaner and my wifes tupperware (sssshhhh) take care of that just fine!

i use too much carb cleaner as it is... a 1gallon pale of mineral spirits is cheaper than the 3 cans of brake cleaner i would have used plus i can just let it soak and not worry about it

its all good

They sell carb cleaner in something like a one gallon can with a dip thing at autozone. That works pretty good. Like Danny, it's carb cleaner in the front yard for me.

That stuff is WAY caustic.... I'd stick with Naptha, Gas, Diesel,MEK, the usual solvents.

Our carbs never get too gunked up... unless its sat for 5 years....

After 3 years they start 3rd kick

actually, I'm all about brake parts cleaner...the RED can If they sold anything with a scull and crossbones, I'd use that because it would probably work the best

3M Brake Cleaner is better than ANYTHING you can find.

Its not GUNKED up but im thinkin from the jetting changes i made in the dunes that i probably got a little sand in there and its making it act funky.. so i wanted to rip it all apart and clean it out... I didnt even think about the gallon can's at vato zone.. Good thinkin..
