what i showed a friend is that when i clean a carb i put parts in a container and set the container in my vibrating foot bath and the vibration allows the cleaner you use to scrub the minor holes and spaces you can`t reach
I used Pine Sol on my '01 cr250 cylinder and power valve parts with great success. One to two days (if you have the time), a little scrubing like you would with any non mechanical method of cleaning and it was perfect. Just make sure everything is submerged fully.
Wayne Woodley, you said you pulled your quadrajet off your 78 El Camino, I jus pulled my quadrajet off my 76 Silverado. Does it really work that well? Im workin on my first project
Yeah pinesol works great for soaking carbs and other parts to ..and you are absolutely right it will eat the finish or plating right off and plastics and rubber carb parts don't fair well either I've been using it for some years now it's cheaper and does a decent job
Man, this is the last time I trust TH-cam Instruction; I cleaned all my orifices with Pine-Sol, just like you said. It burned so bad I couldn't sit for week!
11seconds69keynova simmer down, man. It was just a joke and it WAS pretty funny. For someone who only lasts 11 seconds in a 69 my guess is it's probably your wife who has a better sense of humor?
We use pinsol to remove paint off our plastic models, there’s info here on TH-cam, I just wonder if it’s eating the finish off the carbs, guess I’ll have to find a junk one to find out, got to give you a A+ for doing it in the kitchen you the man
thanks for the tips im definitely trying this ! I have a holley 750 vac carb that i want to re build and it needs to be cleaned. I will be buying some pinsol very soon.
+james myers i would try berrymans carb dip first!!! this works, but there is no replacement for rb dip stuff !!! that and some carb cleaner go a very long way.
I did this… worked great and after I was done I dumped the Pine Sol on the garage floor. Scrubbed it around and cleaned off the oil spots in the garage. No waste and no need to store for two years waiting for your next carb rebuild.
Glad Summit is sponsoring you!!! In all fairness you should add a script stating you are receiving compensation for advertising. Love your videos man! I have learned a lot from them, I am Just trying to keep it honest :) if I am wrong, please let me know.
Jason Davenport oh man, I wish summit sponsored me! I even inquired about it since I use their carbs religiously. I don’t make professional enough videos for their endorsement ha! In short, I’m not on their pay roll
I've used liquid plumber mixed with water to soak a Carb that had old gas tht turned to sticky syrup and it worked wonderfully, soaked it over nite was all it needed.
Have You even tried using anything to agitate/bubble action the solution like a FISH TANK oxygen generation pump to create a flow or movement of the solution?
This did work very well but it seems like you can only use it once. I soaked a quadrajet in it and it cleaned it perfectly put when I put another carburetor in it it barely did anything. Great video though
We used pine sol to flush out a radiator that got engine oil in it. From a blown head gasket. Took a couple of flushes, then straight water, clean as new!
thanks for this tip! I tried it, worked well. I used it to soak an old carter after it was prewashed in diesel. Not a "restored" finish but did the job. And I can reuse it, unlike carb cleaner.
SOAK IN FULL STRENGHT, “S-100" for about 4 hours. Will not hurt rubber or plastic parts or metal or paint. Will dissolve all gunk! You may have to do some light scrubbing with toothbrush in areas of extreme grime but that should remove with little effort! If you have a sonic cleaner S-100 used in that works even better!!!
I soaked an Edelbrock (that suffered a severe long term fuel seepage through the lid gasket) in Pine Sol, and it did an okay job. It completely etched the shiny finish off the carb and turned it a dark dull gray, but didn't really clean it. Just did an okay job of making the gunk easier to spray out with a can of B-12. The $30 paint can of Chem Dip I bought for the internal parts and linkage was virtually useless compared to the pine sol and B-12. The B-12 can was by far the most effective in just getting all the gunk off. Next time I rebuild a carb, I'll skip all the soaking and just spray the shit out of it with B-12.
Fitz, I just did the "spray the s**t out of it" method with B-12... didn't work entirely. It was amazing at removing surface varnish (the syrupy stuff) but didn't do a thorough enough job to keep the carb from becoming immediately clogged again. In other words it didn't get the jets cleaned out well enough. I even used a small wire to make sure it was clear. Bottom line, I think a soak and a spray is probably the best way to do the job once, instead of having to pull it off and do it twice (like I'm about to do.)
Good video, giving good information which I will file away...except for the "lube with WD-40" part...that stuff is mostly solvent and very little lube, certainly not a long-term lube!...for that, WD actually sucks!
Most of the Holley carbs are cast in some sort of zinc alloy as well as, I believe the Autolite/Motorcraft are as well. There are exceptions, like some Holleys such as certain 4150 and 4160s and all 4010, 4011s and their clones sold under the Summit brand. Those carbs are cast in an aluminum alloy. Other than the problems that surfaced from Pinesol and what I understand to be zinc plated steel, did the Pinesol clean the carb castings of zinc and aluminum equally as well? How about those thin strips of either Nylon or Teflon that Holley uses as bearing surfaces on their throttle plate shafts? Did you come across any shaft binding after soaking? I would simply remove the throttle shafts before soaking if the throttle plate screws were easier to remove. Thanks for experimenting with different cleaning solutions because other than still being caustic, the newer formulations of carb cleaning/soaking solutions don't seem to work as well as they used to. Plus the newer solutions are expensive.
+William Charles on this 4100 i didnt encounter any issues thankfully. throttle didnt bind, i did remove the shafts where they are not on the carb in that last clip for a better clean so i could get my brush down the venturies. i wouldnt try it with my summit 600 as im sure it would ruin the finish. any carb part that was that yellowed zinc color is now dulled or silver, so that is something to consider. i wish they made berrymans bigger so one could simply dunk an entire carb. - i dont really want to pay for the drum size
Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the Berrymans and agree that the quantity required would get pricy. It would be interesting to see the results, though. That chromate finish doesn't stand up to much cleaning no matter what you use it seems to me. If you need to get a really funked up carb clean, it's going to be pretty much gone from my past experience. Eastwood and maybe Summit has the spray on chromate, but I don't know if it will hold up very well.
function before beauty i say. barrymans is potent, here is a link to a video i made where i use it to clean pistons, which are way more dirty than carbs could ever hope to be. th-cam.com/video/MI2eLGlkE8Y/w-d-xo.html
Completely! The point of this video was just to use super affordable common household stuff. I personally use berry mans carb dip with an ultrasonic unit in my garage
S Phillips ....They work excellent if you have a descent one that aint a 39$ special...Ive used them for over 30 years.....cleaning everything from jewelry, carbs, gold casting devesting, disolving glass, eyeglasses(lenses up) ......if u can fit in the unit, it will clean....solutions varies the outcome....sudsy ammoniated cleaner removes all dirt, grease, polishing compounds, etc...if usinf flamable liquids we use 500ml beakers with tight lids in the tank solution...
Nice video bro, but If you take that pot that you have it in and place in a crockpot you would be amazed at the results. FYI you might want to do it outdoors!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👊👊
Years ago I would restore old model airplane engines by soaking them in ethylene glycol antifreeze in a slow cooker. Those small engines used to be (and sometimes still are) run on fuel that is 20% caster oil. That oil would cause them to be *totally* gummed up and useless after a period of storage. Overnight in slow cooker with ethylene glycol antifreeze was an amazingly effective and well known cleaning technique. It essentially stripped the engine clean of all the thick hard gunk. I looked up Pine Sol and apparently it contains ethylene glycol also. I suspect that ethylene glycol is the ingredient in Pine Sol that is making this work so well. I also suggest that you try plain ethylene glycol antifreeze and see how that works. My guess is that it will be very effective. (And, of course, keep your pets away. They seem to like drinking it and it is poisonous).
Jim Trainor ....Brake cleaner cuts the dried castor oil varnish...or soaking in laquer thinner...theres no rubber on a all aluminum engine...couple O rings for carb ...👍👍
First off you should do it outside second of all you should just use straight lemon juice third you should soak it for 45 minutes after it hits a boil I've used this four times on carburetors that have gas that had been crystallized and they came out perfect
How long can you leave it soaking in pine sol? I’ve had some soaking for 24 hours. I’m still waiting for parts so I feel like if I take them out they’ll rust
I did the pine sol clean. It was one of the worst things I could have done. It stripped not only the gasoline deposits, but 100% of the protective coatings on the metal. Every bit of steel rusted within a few days. 100% of the aluminum got white oxidation on it within a few days. DO NOT clean your carb with pine sol if you care at all about the appearance of your carburetor.
Hahahahhaha, my husband is going to kill me. He hates the smell of pine sol. I guess his Mom loved the smell and cleaned the entire house with it all the time. This is my first carb rebuild for a Mercruiser quad 260 for our boat. Wish me luck.
jim davidson It's actually a very very light lubricant. I use it as cutting oil since it leaves less of mess vs ATF. It's also good for assembling exaust pipes for the same reason
jim davidson ... It is a water displacement formula....google it...developed by nasa to eliminate moisture....40th formula worked!! Hense the name WD-40👍👍👍
you need to put the pot on the stove and bring to a rolling boil then bake on medium rack at 400°for two hours and bam clean carb and you will ad 50hp cheers
Read the label. Manufacturer suggests not using it with aluminum. Notice after soaking, the metal finish has dulled? Pinesol does that. As for factory-drilled and metered fuel passages, up to you.
Ran outboard repair business for decade, thousands of old dirty two stroke carbs...Berrymans dip and the water hose was the only way... but now the formula is changed...from berrymans website... thanks Kalifornistan and Walmart... Wallyworld bitched about they were going to offer kali stuff and everyone else stuff..wally world only wanted one part number to order...berrymans caved.. so the good stuff is gone the way of Benzene parts washers.... I guess it is down to Pine Sol or lemon juice... going to try the pine sol tonight... sigh...kalifornistan sucks.
Walmart sells lacquer thinner both in the paint and automotive section. The automotive lacquer thinner is cheaper. Why would anyone in their right mind want to spend 16-24 hours soaking a carb when lacquer thinner works better in a few minutes, if not a minute?
This is a throwback, was an apartment with my two other college roommates! One was a girl and one was gay, so actually less understanding than a wife 😂
Stop drinking the koolaid dude, it literally says on the site that is is designed to be a lubricant. It's not a specialized lubricant, it's a generalized one. Use the right lube for the job.
Tobius is absolutely right! WD40 sucks as a lube, specific or generalized (whatever that is supposed to mean)! ...even after 40 attempts its not "perfect", sorry!...and I don't have to drink koolaid to doubt the horseshit fiction the marketing dept had printed on the can or published on their site...I go by my long-time experience, and that is that WD only "lubes" immediately after spraying and while wet, but leaves very little behind in terms of long-term lube. If you use WD as a "lube", you need to come back in a week and "lube" it again...screw that! It displaces water...BFD!...so does wiping off the dist cap, and spark plug wires... If I want a (light) lube, that works great and sticks around for a long time, I use Triflow...I sure as hell don't reach for WD...period!
For rust use electrolysis use plastic for a container and ground a plate under water for small parts add baking soda positive out of water and plate in water not to touch negitive cable or plate postive needs a plate in water not touching neg rust goes to pos metal grounds parts
honestly and truly - must not of been as bad as the carb I had to deal with here in the vid. - it did come off a car that sat in a barn for 30 years. i was bummed, i would have liked the lemon treatment to of worked for the ancient varnish . . .
I still haven't shown my wife the picture of our dining room table and my carburetor cleaning supplies... while she and the kids were away at her mother's house! I tried a little carb cleaning since then at the same table while she was in the house... that didn't go over well! I need a shop!
Your carb was still filthy. So don't say it worked worth a shit. There's no if you rub a finger.... Wet the carb. Sprinkle Ajax or Comet powder on the carb. Brush with an old toothbrush. Rinse. Takes all of 40 seconds. Not days and hours like Pinesol.
Boy, I love this type of video. It's a miracle for people that need to know details about things that they are unfamiliar with. Thanks.

Ronald,
How would you rate this to the can of B-12 chemdip?
Thank you,
You Have Too Use Hexol Its 58% Pine Sol and Its Hella Strong My Dad Was a Diesel Mechanic and He Used That Mixed with Solvent
I love your Summit Racing pot, where can I get one?
This did work very well but it seems like you can only use it once. I soaked a quadrajet in it and it cleaned it perfectly put when I put another carburetor in it it barely did anything. Great video though
Would this work on a 1050 dominator? I just picked one up. Doesn't look bad but could use a little sprucing up. Did you boil it or just let it sit?
We used pine sol to flush out a radiator that got engine oil in it. From a blown head gasket. Took a couple of flushes, then straight water, clean as new!
i don't know does motorized bicycles carbs too like stock ones you have removed float bowl inside it's white plastic inside.
Add in a Ultrasonic cleaner, great results without a lot of scrubbing.
Lemon juice if for removing rust and corrosion.

I know this is an older video but I used 100% and boiled it on a turkey fryer. 20 to 30 minutes after it started rolling it was clean

It has no ethylene glycol . The ingredient that you need is Glycolic Acid . Only the original formula has it.
Run some Marvel Mystery Oil through it right before storage. Won't gum up anymore.
My Dad just told me about the antifreeze trick as he still runs those plane engines that need castor oil.
First off you should do it outside second of all you should just use straight lemon juice third you should soak it for 45 minutes after it hits a boil I've used this four times on carburetors that have gas that had been crystallized and they came out perfect
I used full strength super clean and almost dissolved the metal on an aluminum small engine carb 😬
Orfices: gas welder tip cleaner.
Adding heat to anything will greatly increase its cleaning ability. Certainly safe to heat pinesol
Gene Miller A heated ultrasonic cleaner. Best thing around, but expensive.
Will this not damage the diaphragms and other rubber internals? Or do they need removal first?
yes remove all plastic and orings and rubber if you can.
How long can you leave it soaking in pine sol? I’ve had some soaking for 24 hours. I’m still waiting for parts so I feel like if I take them out they’ll rust
I believe most carburetors are an aluminum body.
so what I really want to know is, just how fast is your toaster?
It’s fast but it pops toast through the ceiling!
That racing toaster looks fast. The sticker adds 0.017 HP.
I did the pine sol clean. It was one of the worst things I could have done. It stripped not only the gasoline deposits, but 100% of the protective coatings on the metal. Every bit of steel rusted within a few days. 100% of the aluminum got white oxidation on it within a few days. DO NOT clean your carb with pine sol if you care at all about the appearance of your carburetor.
Is there anything you can do to prevent this and still get the efficiency of cleaning? Does it matter if it is a 50/50 mix?
bro you are supposed to wash it off after...
Ready for a clean start.😂😂
Throughout the video I kept wondering: how many CFM can that toaster handle?
Hahahahhaha, my husband is going to kill me. He hates the smell of pine sol. I guess his Mom loved the smell and cleaned the entire house with it all the time. This is my first carb rebuild for a Mercruiser quad 260 for our boat. Wish me luck.
Wow a woman cleaning a carb! Shout out to you!!!
Pine sol and pot roast,, the smell of the midwest and my 1970s childhood
Summit racing toaster ! Awesome haha
How did you make the carb body float? Lol
I use lemon grass and vinegar. It works great.
Goes well with sushi too ...
@@DARisse-ji1yw I also heard that crab grass from Pennsylvania and Mr. Muscle works great. Give it a try!!
it isnt what you can see on the outside of a carb that matters.
True, but isn't a cleaner's ability to clean on the outside at least somewhat of an indicator of its ability to clean on the inside?
you don't soak a carb for the outside....just saying....think for a minute bro. He soaked to clean the inside.
@@KingKatRider Yeah "think for a minute bro", if it cant clean the gunk off the outside how tf is it going to clean the gunk on the inside?
Thanks ferda tip man
Oh and BTW, WD-40 is NOT a lubricant. It's more of a solvent slash dryer spray.

that’s the power of pinesol baby
Try the oxygenated Pine-Sol and some heat next time. Works pissah
Wher can i get a summit toaster?😂😂
$10.00 says Scotty Kilmer has one in his parts room😂

Thank you for the informative vid! I really appreciate it... but PLEASE stop using the word "pliable" incorrectly.

If you use WD as a "lube", you need to come back in a week and "lube" it again...screw that! It displaces water...BFD!...so does wiping off the dist cap, and spark plug wires... If I want a (light) lube, that works great and sticks around for a long time, I use Triflow...I sure as hell don't reach for WD...period!
If you want to soak a carb the only thing to use is Chem dip, one hour soak and its spotless reassemble and done.
hmm i think lemon juice smelled good!
Thanks for all the helpful information God bless

A wise man once said !!!! Soak it in “ cider”
😢
What about lavender scent? Then whoever is driving behind you will enjoy the nice smell of the fumes
Summit toaster and summit pot lol

That old Ford at the end seems to miss a little at an idle.
That's just some good ol camshaft music.

Sounds great to me!
I'm married, and my beautiful wife loves pine sol and carburetors!!! Soaking right now.
Brett Dean don't leave her in too long , her skin will get wrinkled
Use dish soaps like dawn a powerful degreaser haha let set 24 hours
For rust use electrolysis use plastic for a container and ground a plate under water for small parts add baking soda positive out of water and plate in water not to touch negitive cable or plate postive needs a plate in water not touching neg rust goes to pos metal grounds parts
screw pine sole. go with boiling str8 lemon juice for 30 mins.....i promise ull never try anything else

i did it just yesterday on a mikuni 26mm. ill never go back
honestly and truly - must not of been as bad as the carb I had to deal with here in the vid. - it did come off a car that sat in a barn for 30 years. i was bummed, i would have liked the lemon treatment to of worked for the ancient varnish . . .
hmmm, i wonder why your results were more favorable. i do know i was successful in gassing out my roommates at that time with the fumes ! ha!
lol dont tell me you are married! i did it before with tailight lenses worked great just didnt tell the wife!
+William Morton ha! not married yet, but trying to stay marketable !!!! i might have to try that on the next dirty carb !
I still haven't shown my wife the picture of our dining room table and my carburetor cleaning supplies... while she and the kids were away at her mother's house! I tried a little carb cleaning since then at the same table while she was in the house... that didn't go over well! I need a shop!
You buy a $10 slow cooker in dollar store and use it for antifreeze. You don't ever put antifreeze in a cooking crockpot, you plumbus!
Your carb was still filthy. So don't say it worked worth a shit. There's no if you rub a finger.... Wet the carb. Sprinkle Ajax or Comet powder on the carb. Brush with an old toothbrush. Rinse. Takes all of 40 seconds. Not days and hours like Pinesol.
Lol calm down internet expert
LOL, you got it. Everything on the net is true. Have a good one!!
ThunderHead289 lol you better apologize to her before she gets nastier lol.
