Hey anyone know the best way to clean the old dry hard white crap out of the bottom of a carb bowl? My carb cleaner that I soak them in isnt touching it..
Its worth a shot! I was thinking of a dremel with one of those scouring pads, but not sure if it was to muchStrange as it may sound, hot water (almost boiling), a parts brush and a little dish detergent.
Gotta love that big 2 stroke ring ding
It depends what it is. Usually white stuff is oxidation and it takes an acid (like vinegar) to remove it.Hey anyone know the best way to clean the old dry hard white crap out of the bottom of a carb bowl? My carb cleaner that I soak them in isnt touching it..
Im assuming old dried up gas.. Its the carb from a snowmobile that were sitting for a good 5 years.It depends what it is. Usually white stuff is oxidation and it takes an acid (like vinegar) to remove it.

more like Whine! LOLWine
There is nothing in fuel that will leave a white residue. If the bowl is metal, it is likely oxidized metals and a weak acid like vinegar should clean it up.Im assuming old dried up gas.. Its the carb from a snowmobile that were sitting for a good 5 years.
Wine and mineral spirits don’t mix.Mineral spirits
Aluminum bowls, the oxidation does make sense. Some of it is so thick that it interferes with the float. I'll give vinegar a try as well.There is nothing in fuel that will leave a white residue. If the bowl is metal, it is likely oxidized metals and a weak acid like vinegar should clean it up.
Why not? They're both spirits...Wine and mineral spirits don’t mix.

One will make you happy after you drink it...the other will make you dead.Why not? They're both spirits...
Physically knock of the worst of it and then apply the vinegar treatment.Aluminum bowls, the oxidation does make sense. Some of it is so thick that it interferes with the float. I'll give vinegar a try as well.
No it won't...One will make you happy after you drink it...the other will make you dead.
A friend of mine bought a basket case BSA 500 single for $25 early 60s vintage. After we got that morphidite British Wentworth POS put together, the moment of truth. Gassed it up gave it a little tickle, he jumped on the kick starter and literally threw him over the bars when it sneezed back. We push started it until we figured out those extra levers, compression release and ignition advance![]()
I survived drinking mineral spirits... as a two year old...One will make you happy after you drink it...the other will make you dead.
The reason why is occurs is because water condenses on the metal surface above the fuel with temperature changes and since it is immiscible with the fuel, it collects around the edges in contact with the metal wall causing oxidation. As the fuel evaporates, the same process continues down the metal wall until the bowl is empty. The greatest areas of oxidative build up occur along the line of the original fuel level since that is where it began first.Aluminum bowls, the oxidation does make sense.

That explains a lot about how your brain works.I survived drinking mineral spirits... as a two year old...
Oh that it does hahaThat explains a lot about how your brain works.![]()
Pine sol and water. But not for too long.It depends what it is. Usually white stuff is oxidation and it takes an acid (like vinegar) to remove it.
