Here are the infamous before shots...
I tested out an small area first and wow L@@k at that difference!

what a dirty dirty boy.

and here it is again after getting some oven cleaner from CVS...and before you even say no way can that be the same carb!!!!11111 I cant believe my I's....yes it is the same.


It worked so well I'm gonna test out the same stuff on the engine and see what kinda results i get. Ill post it up later if anyone wants to see.

 

What did you use to clean it?

 

just spray on no scrubbing?

 

oven cleaner from CVS. It was a late night project and CVS was the only place open at 1am. It says it can be used on grills etc.. so i figured it was safe and would do the trick.

 

Nice

 

hells yeah. was it just spray-on and wash-off, or was there elbow grease involved?

 

yeah it recommended spraying it on, letting it sit for 20-25 minutes then washing it off. I was quite pleased with the results for $6. Oh yeah and if anyone else tries this get some nice rubber gloves like up to the elbow. It recommends them in the directions and if that stuff gets on you it kills. watch your eyes too.

 

dam looks very good,did you cover up the main body up,or did you rebuild the carb?

 

Be careful, oven cleaner is nasty ****. It really likes to eat aluminum and other soft metals. Rinse REALLY well, and dont let it soak too long. It also like to eat gaskets. FYI

 

^ what Carl said.

 

looks fantastic

 

Sunlight Industrial Oven Cleaner is what i use, works great. Just let it sit for about 10 minutes, wash it off, repeat.

 

What the Hell is That? Jusdging by that engine bay, I would Stay clear of the oven cleaner.

 

haha its my beat to **** civic.

 

is that a paddock car or what

 

It is the car im planning on turboing for iceracing.

 

i guess some people shoot dying horses, others ... turbocharge them? (waa-waa-waaa)

 

I was gonna say RallyCross.... FTW, either way.

 

and they end up as show ponies.

 

Move to California, and MTV will pimp that for you.

 

wow that is a humengous pile of dung, but you have great ambition. Getting back to the carb, I forgot to mention yes, I used a wire brush also. Sorry i misread that reply.
