Canadian Yamalube Carb Cleaner Dip?

[kevxs]

hey guys I can't find any Yamalube Carb Cleaner Dip up here, anyone know if its available or if there are similar products that wont eat my seals?

Just use the spray, and some compressed air. No real need to dip them. 2 cans of spray is usually plenty to clean a rack of grungy carbs.

Hi,

I dont know of another vendor, but maybe an online provider in the us can ship to you. Some say dipping isnt necessary, but I found different. In addition to dip, I used fully four cans of spray to do thourough cleaning. If you really want the yami stuff and cant get it another way, I will buy one and ship to you if thats possible, just cover my costs. Some do dip with the caustic stuff, but go to pains to avoid dipping seals in the caustics. Its not easy getting the stuff dipped, and avoiding seals. I had to jump hoops to use just one quart of yammi and get everything dipped. I used a metal coffee can, bent it into a suitable shape, then dipped two carbs at a time into it. I had to come up with filler, in my case small rocks to raise the level of the dip so that even the two carbs were covered by liquid in the large coffee can. Very clumsy, but it worked great. You may very well be able to get the tiniest holes cleared with just the caustic spray, those would be , the hole in the bottom of the bowls, the three tiny holes in the top of venturi above the throttle, and prolly the mixture screws passages, if you can get those all to flow well, the others will prolly flow too just fine , you should be good without dipping. I did actually use spray into the rubbery stuff inside the enrichment area, but did my best to blow thru and clean and minimize the amount of contact the caustices had with the rubberies. Good luck.

pinesol

Hi,

I think the pinesol is a very good solution, if I would have known it before buying the yammilube stuff, I would have tried it.

Funny thing is, that vat of really dirty gray milky looking stuff, looks identical to the yammi cleaner in the middle of cleaning. It prolly amounts to about the same thing, I actually think the carbs cleaned in pinesol, look substantially cleaner looking than mine did in yammifluid. So much for the twelve bux a quart yammifluid. The yammifluid does feel slick like antifreeze does too. So maybe putting the antifreeze in the mix would work best, anybody know a good mixture ratio???
