Carb Cleaner
 

I have some gum out spray and it says on the back to be careful where u spray it in the carb( something like that) can i just take off the air lid and spray down into the carb? Is it better to do it while its running or while its off?

btw another quickie is ok to premix while you still got the omp?

DO NOT spray carb cleaner into the carb when the car isnt running!! you wont be able to start your car, you also need to hold the throttle open to about 2-3K otherwise the motor will bog down and die. But yes while the car is running and revved, spray the cleaner into the carb throat, and spray a little at a time, not a full on stream. And I dont know why you would premix with the OMP but I see no reason why it would hurt the engine.

A little pre-mix is ok, too much can lead to fouled plugs. No more than 1/2 oz/gal.

hahahha thats not true LOKI!!!!!

I completely broke that theory.

when I got the car we couldnt start it up.

but if we could start it up it would idle for a certain amount of time.

ITs very flamable!!!! it started the car right up :P

we got it fied now. gas tank problem lol

so this is offtopic but you it will start up.


just spray the carb down.

Yes, if you let the carb set and the cleaner evaporate out it will work. If the cleaner acts as a starting fluid, than I would suggest trying a better brand....

if you do it with the engine off, where do think the crud ends up ? - in the intake manifold
if you do it with the engine running, it gets consumed in the combustion process.

can i just say that normally a quickie is something else or am i the only one that noticed. sorry i just had to say something lol.

this morning i cleaned out the carb with the spray( while running i had the choke set so it would idle at 2300rpm ).. WOW it made a huge difference the car had never acclerated or idled soo smoothly in its life! i recommend that all of you do this! I guess for the 13b guys clean your throttle body it may make a big difference also! :D

lol.

now all you gotta do is tighten the pedal linkadge to the carb

oh yeaahh. voom voooom

dude what do you think we spray down engines with when were rebuilding one.


piston housings the hole shabang.

we get an engine block spray that sucker down the brake cleaner and carb cleaner.

its a parts cleaner not crud. :icon_tup:


it works wonders!!!!
