I have read and read all your threads about cleaning carbs and would like to know your favorite product. My daughter's fiancé is working on a 65 Mustang and the carb float bowl is full of what looks like a calcium depost 1/8 to 1/8 inch thick.
So my question what is the best product to clean this bowl?
I used Berryman's Carb dip last summer on a few small engine carbs that had been sitting around and varnished pretty bad. It is basically a pail of carb cleaner with a metal screen basket, so you can just dunk it overnight to loosen up all the deposits. Works better than the spray type cleaners.
I also used the tip cleaning tools from an oxy-acetylene torch to reach into all the ports and jets. Just be careful not to be too vigorous in the scrubbing.
I take mine to my Ultrasonic Cleaner and they are like new inside and out without any scrubbing, etc. Only cost about $50-60. Way better and safer then any "carb cleaner degreaser." Safe on rubber parts.

I also agree,mine came out perfect with ultrasonic cleaner,I think I put simple green for aluminum instead of berrymans,cause I got scared the heat from cleaner might lite up berrymans,cause it does say flammable on can,idk
I guess in that case u need to tear it down and soak it in a varnish remover, and then replace all the little rubber parts.....?
Or try to buy a rebuilt carb somewhere?
