Carby cleaner

Thu Jun 25, 2009 8:51 pm

Going to service the old girl soon, possibly put a new front tyre on it and make my way back to the PITS one of these days.
But i just wanted to know if you guys had a brand of carby cleaner you could swear by (not at).

Also getting abit of a gargle as i back off the throttle at times. Not always, just around the 5-7k rev mark, any ideas?

Owen, the best Carbie cleaner is a strip down to do it properly, clean all the gunk out & balance them...... will be like a new bike ;)

The cheap Export stuff worked work great the other day when I and Dave#3 was preping Naydeens zzr for say last weekend. Hadnt been started in 12months and when i did ,it ran like crap and wouldnt idle. A little of that stuff and she runs great now. Really strong engine not much you can do to it!!!

yeah i know, ive already pulled the carby from the other bike apart and cleaned it all out and thats where it still is, on the bench. Was looking for a quick and nasty solution to try first.
Dont really have time to be stripping my daily comuter down, and i have no idea, nor the tools to balance them :oops:

i have used this stuff from supercheap that u put in with a full tank of fuel, worked fine
but one im really happy with and use occasionally and my bike and car is this motul carby cleaner, you spray a bit into the air intake while it running :kuda: i also use this stuff when i dismantle the carbs on my 400 and it cleans em up like new :kuda:
this is like $19 though so id go with the fuel additive as thats always done the job for me ;)

Autologic is about the best you'll get and doesn't stuff plastic / sensors. Harder to get though.
Nulon in the blue can is the next best ....
Some of the cheaper stuff can actually stuff diaphrams ,O rings , seals etc and best left to cleaning engine parts IMO
8) ;)
