Bear with me on this one. We used to use it to clean and service breathing regulators when I worked in the diving industry, when sonic baths weren't available (like when you're living on a pontoon 25km offshore!)

BUT! Also bear in mind that it is a very mild acid and any carb parts that you soak must NOT be left for any more than 30 minutes at a time before you have another look at them. If you leave them overnight you will not like the results!!

It really is a very effective cleaner for a lot of things. Good luck.

Chris.

Ahh Crispy I am completely loving this post (the magic of seeing chrome come up all clean and that horror of leaving it in too long and seeing the Brass come through - memories!) If you're ever planning a Africa trip, give me a couple of years notice.

Isabel whilst you're fiddling try replacing the carb rubbers too.
