I'm sure you will agree the majority of small engine problems come back to the "ole respiratory system".
If your like me, you know that what one aerosal carb cleaner leaves behind another will make dissapear. So I'm interested in knowing which is best. I have a favorite, what is yours?

If I'm tearing the carb down to rebuild, I actually prefer brake cleaner followed by a quick spray of carb cleaner. Brake cleaner takes just about everything off very quickly, but I don't know how it will react with the rubber parts, that's why the rebuild. Not sure if there's any issues with aluminum and brake cleaner, that's why the followup of carb cleaner.

I've used a lot of carb sprays and most work very well, the one I like the most is Berkebile 2+2 it has a
pulsating spray thru its wand that dislodges and cleans really good.

B-12 Chemtool is the best I've found, but since I found that I quit looking.
You know it's good when it feels like acid burning on the back of your hand.

I like the Chemtool stuff just fine. Another brand I like is Wurth. I've had really good luck with Sea-foam for "driveability" problems on all my mowers.:biggrin:
