Robin;
Yes that was my suggestion. A friend of mine was in the lawnmower repair
business and in that business they were forever cleaning the gum out of
carbs after people had parked their mowers for the winter. Carburettor
cleaner was way too expensive plus they had to completely dismantle each
carb first or the cleaner would eat the rubber parts. What they found out
was that pinesol disolved the old gum after soaking it for a day or two, was
less then half the price, and didn't hurt the rubber parts. I have tried
this on a moped carb and it seemed to work quite well, next experiment will
be on a Carter WCFB.

Somebody somewhere was swearing that Pinesol worked very well!? I am going
to check it out soon and see.
