Default Carb cleaning

I don't remember which thread it was, but there was a lot of posting in it about the best stuff to use for cleaning your carbs.

Carb cleaner, as I recall, was an obvious favorite.

Since then, (yesterday actually) I've had an opportunity to try out something I saw on another forum.

Pinesol.

I soaked a thirty year old DellOrto in it overnight. Hit it with a toothbrush, rinsed it out in really hot water, and blew it dry with comp. air.

The verdict... I'm impressed. It's clean as hell, cheap, and you can smoke while you do it.

Before and after:
