1 do these still do the job?
this is from description's
'Contains no chlorinated solvents'
does that mean they took the
good stuff out?
here's pic's of two
now is NAPA one different?
or just repackaged one of these

ok guys we can go it alone here
but being like thrifty farmers
would rather not buy can
of carburetor dip and
get it home and it's a bust
anybody used one of these carb dip's lately?

My can of carb dip is 20 years old, so I have no experience with the new stuff.

m s fowler ford guy
go ahead and rub it in
will check wallyworld first
if have to go look for it
kind of a toss up
maybe berryman that's more
their specialty
but might of used gunk one
darn napa is out of the way for us
since they closed one right on
our usual route:crybaby:

I use laquer thinner - it's cheaper and will clean anything...

 

[MR RACING]

thank you pg
think we'll stick to carburetor dip
have heard lacquer thinner is
sort of the top paint thinner though

want our carb looking like this

a mytractorforum blast from the past
and look who's in it

How about this stuff:

Hence I came up with my own mix ratio that goes as follows:
8/12 kerosene. ($4 a gallon)
3/12 gasoline. ($4 a gallon)
1/12 acetone. ($20 a gallon)
Cost of mix: $5.33 a gallon

Notes:
I would keep it away from painted surfaces although it does clean them but I won't guarantee that it won't dull or harm the paint.
Shaking the mix immediately prior (and at times during) use is required as the acetone will settle.
Must be stored in a closed, properly labeled steel container.
Can be strained through a towel, and re-used.
Not for use in all parts cleaners.

I found that on a web site; its not my formula. Also be advised it is toxic and flammable. EPA ,or OSHA would be happy with it, but it supposed to be effective.

I used the Berryman's to clean the carb on my 112 when I got it two years ago. The carb was covered in gunk from oil build up in the engine area, and plugged up with gunk internally so the tractor wouldn't run.

Seemed to work well, cleaned the carb up **** and span.
