The question we are answering today is if you can clean a carb with Pinesol. Will it work? Check out my website: junkyardnecrom... Instagram: / junkyardnecromancer Discord: / discord Rumble: rumble.com/c/c...
The best stuff I've ever seen for cleaning carbs is something my Uncle has, known as 'Blue Soap'. I don't know if that's the brand name of it, or what that particular product is called, but it's an industrial duty chemical, he got a bunch of it when the mill he worked at shut down, we left a tractor carb in a bucket of it with an aerator keeping the soap moving through and over all the parts overnight, and while the metal wasn't shiny, it was clean, all of the ethanol gum in the carb (The tractor was parked with a carb full of ethanol gas) had dissolved right off the metal. That being said, I'll have to give the Pinesol a shot, my Uncle's supply of Blue Soap is dwindling, and the pinesol seems like it left a better finish.
@@thejunkyardnecromancer Will do, I have some cast parts that I don't relish the idea of getting out the sandblasting setup for, or breaking my back with a wire wheel to get clean, so I'll probably give the Pinesol a shot, worst it can do is nothing. Not surprised you haven't heard of the Blue Soap before either, I think it was industrial grade stuff from 20-30 years ago, I have no idea what it's made of, and I tend to doubt that it's even legal to sell anymore given how harsh the chemicals in it are.
@@thejunkyardnecromancer Well, I tend to doubt that the gear oil advertised on the jug we've been using of it is what the soap actually is, but I'll check next time I'm down at the machine shop to see if there's any containers of it with the actual product name on it.
@@thejunkyardnecromancer I got a name off of a bottle of the 'Blue Soap'. In actuality it's 'Carroll Solvs-it'. With a name like that, it makes sense why my uncle just calls it Blue Soap, but a quick google search doesn't turn up anything that matches it, so I'm assuming it's not readily available.
Just an opinion. The pinesol worked great. I just wanted to see what would happen if you were to use a straight up steamer. Ufff almost sure I would clean the hard to reach areas. Thank to Dougsters for the idea.
