I don't really have one. I'm just in one of those moods cause I got up at 8am to ride Glen Helen. I've pissie ever since I got to work, even giving the boss crap. But were good.

I think I'll start a Pinnacle thread, spill it.

Justin has access to a badass parts washer and large blasting cabinet and presses, etc. at his dads work, ask him, I'm sure he wouldn't mind running a couple things through the parts washer for you. He bead blasted my whole gen-1 frame for me!

i just need to tear apart my carb and rebuild it.. no wories ill just go grab a bucket brush and hit up the hardware store for some mineral spirits

carb cleaner and my wifes tupperware (sssshhhh) take care of that just fine!

i use too much carb cleaner as it is... a 1gallon pale of mineral spirits is cheaper than the 3 cans of brake cleaner i would have used plus i can just let it soak and not worry about it

its all good

They sell carb cleaner in something like a one gallon can with a dip thing at autozone. That works pretty good. Like Danny, it's carb cleaner in the front yard for me.

That stuff is WAY caustic.... I'd stick with Naptha, Gas, Diesel,MEK, the usual solvents.

Our carbs never get too gunked up... unless its sat for 5 years....

After 3 years they start 3rd kick

actually, I'm all about brake parts cleaner...the RED can

If they sold anything with a scull and crossbones, I'd use that because it would probably work the best

3M Brake Cleaner is better than ANYTHING you can find.

Its not GUNKED up but im thinkin from the jetting changes i made in the dunes that i probably got a little sand in there and its making it act funky.. so i wanted to rip it all apart and clean it out... I didnt even think about the gallon can's at vato zone.. Good thinkin..
