Who dose their own carbs

[Boar]

I have a 95 cougar and a 94 indy triple.  I had time and figured I take a look at the carbs, cause i couldnt get the cougar to fire. turns out it was gummed up bad, mossy bowl. and stuck needle. did the best I could, wiered thing is the carbs on the tripple looked new, clean as a whistle. didnt do anything different than the courgar. I ran seasfoam in the tank for a while shut both gas lines off but forgot to let idel to die, thats why cougar gummed up, tripple no clue but no cleaning either. I want to by a harmonic cleaner, cabeleas has them for about a hundy, ones to clean brass casings. same process. there is also a product out there where you sumerse the carb in the cleaning solution and blow it dry anyone heard of this, most parts store carry it i gusse.

There are ultrasonic cleaners and detergents.  Haven't used one but sure would like to.

Otherwise soak in carb cleaner and then compressed air.  If you read it is not recommended that you run anything through the jets.  I say you do and if you don't the jets aren't clean.  Just use care not to enlarge the jet.

I have used Gumout spray for ever and love the stuff for cleaning out carbs. With the tube on you can really blow out the jets and passage ways.

I used the ultrasonic from cabelas on my honda boat carbs(3), auger, snowblower, any small engine carb of mine that needed cleaning.  All I can say is FANTASTIC!!  Right around $100

I use a carb cleaner that comes in 1 gal. pail. take the carb apart let it soak for a hour or two rinse with hot water 

blow everything off and reassemble. 

One trick I have learned over the years is I use toothpaste on a Qtip to clean the seat of the needle and seat.

If you have a needle with a black tip check for a ring around it if it does replace it with all brass.

needle and seat are all ways overlooked.
