[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 2842996, member: 12282"] Actually, its varnish that gunks up carbs. Not to say that carb cleaner would not work, but just saying. Heads, valves tend to carbon up. Gear heads tend to clean that stuff with grinders and abrasives. Hard carbon is well, pretty hard. I have difficulty thinking brake cleaner or carb cleaner will touch it. And I use both on other applications regularly. Brake cleaner is mostly a very efficient degreaser as that is the LAST think you want hanging around your brakes. Carb cleaner as noted tries to melt varnish, which is what dried out stale gasoline can leave behind, plugging little passages. It also basically blows out debris from said passages if you are lucky..... [/QUOTE]
