How do you clean your carburator? Original Message Dec 6, 2011 4:29 pm
One of my local shop told me they soak the carburator in a acid fluid over night to clean everything before rebuilding. Wondering if that is what the professionals' common practice. If that is the case what kind of acid do they use? I do have a bucket of acid that I use to clean car parts. I am worry it is too strong to clean the carburator.

How's this for a dirty Carburetor bowl. Pulled this off a carb. on a Honda 11Hp GX390 Pretty sad. Water got into the cyl. as well. Not much, just enough to weld the piston in place in one spot. (cast Iron sleeve) Rest of the enigne is good.
