Quik...Dumb question

[Dylan W.]

Is brake parts cleaner an acceptable substitute for carberator cleaner? Im trying to clean a 4 wheeler carb. that has been setting for a couple years.Yamaha warrior

 

[amcjeepman]

Yes.

 

[Dylan W.]

Thanks James. How ya doin?

 

[amcjeepman]

tired

 

[atblis]

Probably

It might be possible that the Carb cleaner is a tad more plastic friendly. That would be the only thing I'd be concerned about.

I've used both with no problems though. Brake cleaner ain't what it used to be.

The only bad thing about using brake cleaner on a carb is that most of it leaves a residue.

LOL!

I was gonna say, You have to put the carb back on.

I really think I might have hooked the jet to the float backwards, but who knows. Gonna tear it all back down again.
It does have 4 flat tires, Do you think that could be the problem?

I've not found anything that will get the plaque out of a 4 wheeler carb. Let me know what works for you.

Soak it in Seafoam then run Sta-Bil in the gas year round. Today's gas sucks. I add Sta-Bil to the gas tanks in my boat and 4-wheelers.
