I am not sure this works, have seen articles on you tube to supposedly remove rust but not clean carbs.

I don't think modern Coke is much use for cleaning. I tried it on my 250NB carbs & it did nothing. I remember years ago, dropping copper coins in it for a while, then pulling them out like new, but I think the ingredients used then were fatal if swallowed & have been removed. I also tried paraffin, meths & cellulose thinners on the carbs - the thinners was the best. Someone on here recommended boiling them in lemon juice, so I'm going to try that on my 400N carbs.

Get a cheap Aldi/Lidl ultrasonic cleaner and stick some dishwasher tablet or washing up liquid in,I have aquired some Trichoethelyne (was banned years ago)from step son which is what we used for cleaning years ago and will try doing a carb in the u/sonic with that in a well ventilated area as Trich fumesi are deadly!!

Trich is a carcinogenic so was banned for that reason,similar product available but not as good as original rrecall an apprentice in a factory was told to clean out a large industrial cleaner full of Trich poor lad died from inhaling the fumes

I often heard that coke drinks are good for rotting your guts and bringing on stomach & bowl cancers etc.

OK hands up in my youth I would read the Wapping Wanker(the Sun)which is where I read that African ladies were using Coke as a douche after sex(with their husbands)to prevent becoming pregnant.But as Jonnyboy seems to be suggesting sticking the can into the oriface may also have the desired result.Doctor told me to stick a johnny on my organ but we hadn't one so stuck it on our piano instead.I'll get me coat lol |
