Clean with soap and water, not carb cleaner.

Clean with soap and water, not carb cleaner.

Hu? Soap wont do anything for carb nasty.

With that said... you don't want to get carb cleaner on any rubber parts... but you do want to use spray carb cleaner, and compressed air to make sure all the internal holes are clear.

You want to verify that the pop-off is correct.

DO NOT try to take the internals apart without a hand impact screwdriver.

Soap and water cleaned my black nasty carb filters. Used dish soap, came out nice and white.

everything apart, soaking filter now, should i spray carb cleaner where the filter is located? or just everywhere? and the hard part is getting the choke and throttle back together with those little bent wires that look like paperclips, i got it all messed up
