SEBSPEED Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 nobody uses kerosene anymore? The Pine Sol smells better? :goofy: What's kero cost in your area right now? It's about $3.75/gal here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fastrc46 Posted February 27, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2011 So do you use the Pine-Sol streight or do you dilute it? The carbs on the Nighthawk are in need of a good cleaning and thought I would try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Ranger77 Posted February 27, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2011 Be careful if you use this on old carbs that are the grey cast aluminum ones. I let a couple soak and after a few days I took them out. It made the aluminum to start rubbing off. You can always boil carbs. http://www.randakks.com/TechTip52.htm I'm not doubting you, just makes me wonder why if it doesn't seem to hurt rubber? Beats me. I dunked two little sleeve type carbs for a 80 degree single piston engine. The aluminum looks like lead weights. Made the aluminum slippery and just rubbed off on my glove.

Guest old450 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Results from doing the carbs off my 91. With What??? The jets and needles etc. soaked about 24hrs in straight Pine Sol. The stripped Carb assembly soaked in a vat of 50% - 60% hot tap water for about 18hrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrousva Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Do you guys think this would work to clean up anodized brake calipers, and fork lowers? I recently got a set from a VTR 1000 to upgrade my VFR. Thanks R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
