Heard you worked for Paul. Came here and subbed, Hope you and Pauls family are doing well, he will be missed.
@@cryptowolf-zf3fs thank you
Dollar store cleaner called Awesome. Dirt cheap and will take paint off so be careful. Awesome channel.
Welding tip cleaners work great for cleaning small passages.
Welding tip cleaners? Are those told or chemicals?
Cutting torch tip cleaners
A tool that consists of various diameter small wires
Most of the confusion is due to the fact that PineSol is no longer PineSol. About 15 years ago Clorox changed the active ingredient from pine oil to glycolic acid, and they are very different chemically. They both clean aluminum, but only one of them likes aluminum. Other than mechanical methods like dry ice or vapor blasting or a $60,000 laser stripper, pine oil is what you want for aluminum.
They have been saying the world supply of pine oil would eventually dry up going all the way back to when they started making the stuff. You can still order the original formula direct, or if you prefer spending less instead of more just by the generic version. I don't know if it's synthetic or what exactly, but if you buy the off brand stuff at wal-mart it's still made with actual pine oil.
A bristle from a wire brush works well for cleaning out small orifices.
Pinsole works good for piston cleaning and other car parts too lol
Oooh! That's a good tip with the bristle!
Standard solvent works good. And you can get it at your local menards. Even better in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Good idea!
Just an opinion. The pinesol worked great. I just wanted to see what would happen if you were to use a straight up steamer. Ufff almost sure I would clean the hard to reach areas. Thank to Dougsters for the idea.
A steamer would be an interesting idea! Unfortunately I don't own one.
@@thejunkyardnecromancer check HF 😎😎😎
mix that undeluted pinesol with ethanol 50/50 and give that a try ;-)
Never woukda thought to use pinesol... i subscribed to your channel from Honest peytons speed shops channel
Welcome!!! Honest Peyton's Speed Shop is awesome!
@thejunkyardnecromancer happy to be here! Yes they are! Great folks!
The best stuff I've ever seen for cleaning carbs is something my Uncle has, known as 'Blue Soap'. I don't know if that's the brand name of it, or what that particular product is called, but it's an industrial duty chemical, he got a bunch of it when the mill he worked at shut down, we left a tractor carb in a bucket of it with an aerator keeping the soap moving through and over all the parts overnight, and while the metal wasn't shiny, it was clean, all of the ethanol gum in the carb (The tractor was parked with a carb full of ethanol gas) had dissolved right off the metal. That being said, I'll have to give the Pinesol a shot, my Uncle's supply of Blue Soap is dwindling, and the pinesol seems like it left a better finish.
Blue soap! Never heard of it before. If you try the Pinesol, let me know how it goes!
@@thejunkyardnecromancer Will do, I have some cast parts that I don't relish the idea of getting out the sandblasting setup for, or breaking my back with a wire wheel to get clean, so I'll probably give the Pinesol a shot, worst it can do is nothing. Not surprised you haven't heard of the Blue Soap before either, I think it was industrial grade stuff from 20-30 years ago, I have no idea what it's made of, and I tend to doubt that it's even legal to sell anymore given how harsh the chemicals in it are.
@@gearsnstuff7330 all the good stuff gets taken away from us haha. It wasn't in a labeled container?
@@thejunkyardnecromancer Well, I tend to doubt that the gear oil advertised on the jug we've been using of it is what the soap actually is, but I'll check next time I'm down at the machine shop to see if there's any containers of it with the actual product name on it.
@@thejunkyardnecromancer I got a name off of a bottle of the 'Blue Soap'. In actuality it's 'Carroll Solvs-it'. With a name like that, it makes sense why my uncle just calls it Blue Soap, but a quick google search doesn't turn up anything that matches it, so I'm assuming it's not readily available.
That looks prettier than my carburetor 😂
I thought yours turned out pretty good!
@@thejunkyardnecromancer It just got a slight patina
Wooooooooooow nice
Put the pinesol in an ultra sonic cleaner.
Not a bad idea!
Don't use Pine Sol on zinc based carbs.
Bendix and Zenith carbs are zink based.
Don't ask---------------
@@jimhmod oh dang! Good to know!!!
