Industrial strenght carb cleaner
Loooooong story short. Chem Dip didn't cut it.
I need a really good carb cleaner. Not a spray can. Something I can soak carb parts in. I don't care if it takes off the gold finish. The carbs I am working on are plugged up somewhere, and I don't even know where. It isn't obvious to the naked eye with the carbs completely disassembled, and all jets etc, removed. This is on my 69 Opel GT 1.1 with dual Solex carbs. I know something is plugged. I have a second set of carbs off of a 1.1 Kadette. I just rebuilt them and installed, and the car runs fine. A little history. The car ran great in October. Sherri and I took it on an 80 mile round trip one Sat. Got over 40 mpg, and ran perfect. Sat for two weeks right after that trip. Started it up... ran for 3 to 5 seconds and quit. Again, I will spare you the novel, but the bottom line is my spare carbs are now installed and it runs fine. I would like to fix the original carbs. Soaked all the pieces in Berryman's Chem Dip. Obviously did not clear the clog. I can start swapping parts (tops, bodies, baseplates) to see which part is clogged, but I will still need something to soak the offending parts in to fix the problem. I have seen some posts on Pine Sol. Anyone try that? Thanks for any help.

We use Tyme (green w/yellow can) dip at work & then make sure massages are clean with the red label CRC spray. Works good....Joe

Looks like some are packaged in a predominantly yellow can with green lettering and vice versa. Both state on the label "Contains no Methylene Chloride" on the can. Both are labeled as Tyme-1.
Any difference between the two? https://allbatterysalesandservice.co...-gallons-14104 http://plugandgear.com/crc-14101-tym...1-gal/#gallery

Evaporust will remove most finishes - zinc chromate, gunblack, black phosphate, etc. It can also attack some types of potmetal so keep an eye on anything non-ferrous going into the liquid.

yes it stripped it of all coatings..but id rather do it with that than "sand" blasting..
i use it on everything aluminum i want clean...its really impressive..and its not as harmfull as chlorinated cleaners ive used in the past... as i age, im afraid of my parts washer fluid..and carb cleaner and brake cleaner... https://www.gemplers.com/docs/IS/160265.pdf

I still have a 5 gallon pale of the old cold parts cleaner. Nasty stuff but works great.
If you want to send me the pieces i'll give them a dip.

Lynn, I had that same problem on a Boss Mustang that you described. The car ran fine one day and the next it ran on half of the carb. Started it up and revved it up to 2,000 rpm . Put your hand over the carb to stop the airflow , Mine had an air bleed plugged and it sucked whatever it was out and ran fine ..
