what are good things to soak my gocart engines carbi in to clean it in my household? like water, gas, or what?

Answer 1

Soak in a 1:1 solution of Aquaklean for as long as needed and rinse. It's the best automotive cleaner/degreaser I've found. sold by kbs coatings.

Answer 2

Unless you happen to have a large bottle of heavy duty industrial solvent like xylene or methyl ethyl ketone sitting around in your garage, I'd recommend buying a bucket of real carb cleaner from an auto parts store. To soak a carb, you will need to disassemble it and remove all the gaskets, and then put new gaskets in when you're done.

Answer 3

Don't "soak it" in anything. Just spray on some carb & choke cleaner (Gumout) and wait a few minutes, then use a soft wire brush, and some very thin wire to carefully clean out the jets, etc.

Answer 4

They make a solution in a gallon can like a paint can you can buy at the parts store. It works pretty good. That is what I do with all of my carbs. I take them apart put the parts in the cleaner put the lid back on sit it in the corner overnight and then put it back together. I do this at the kitchen table.

Answer 5

soak it in parts cleaner they sell for parts cleaning machines. when it's soaked for a while, take it apart, and put the pieces back in the solution. then get yourself a carb rebuild kit. they're like 10-20 bucks youll have a carb good as new

Answer 6

Try carb cleaner.That will get any build up out of the jets. Never use water to clean anything with gas in it first.It will gum up the lines.

Answer 7

You don't soak it or you'll have to replace all the gaskets. Just spray it down with Valvoline Carburator Cleaner-Works great!
