[QUOTE="westgl, post: 75193, member: 2025"] I understand you wanting to use only a chemical just strong enough to do the job but not damage rubber parts When i rebuilt my carb racks. I used Brake cleaner for Jets, and if that did not do it, I used Carb Cleaner [b]ONLY for the All Brass ONLY items.[/b] That is the Only time I used Carb cleaner, then i put it on the High shelf so that it would get confused with the Brake cleaner. Then I used Brake cleaner for all alum. parts & Alum. passages, and i bought a water pik at a yard sale for $2.00, I use it to put water through the passages in the carb bodies to make sure they are clear. I use the boil method, I have a LP turkey fryer, $5.00 at a yard sale, and use Distilled ONLY water, regular tap water wont work. Then I use the water pik to see if all passages are clear. I tried using compressed air but i can't really tell if the air is coming out of the passage or out the side of were you are blowing into, with the water pik you can see where the water is coming out of.
