Mike Beresford Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Any advise on the best products/technique for cleaning DCOEs in situ. They were spotless when I rebuilt my car but now need a serious clean-up. Any advise much appreciated. Thanks - Mike :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I could do with some cleaning tips too....I was going to give Gunk a go yesterday but didn't get round to it.....is this a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Brother Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Try using some off the shelf spray carb cleaner. You can also try some spray brake cleaner (make sure the engine is not running and the trumpets are covered) Agitate with a stiff brush then spray again and leave to dry. You can also try methylated spirits with a brush. Steve "The original X-Power" www.Se7en-Up.co.uk id=green> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 The carb cleaner in aerosol form is brilliant as the jet cleans off all the crap virtualy instantly and hear are the instructions from the can. carburettor engines remove air cleaner. with engine off, spray exterior surface of carb and carb linkage. Start engine. Spray valve, throat and throttle plate areas. Rev engine lightly to flush away deposits and to smooth out idle. Renew the air filterand refit the air filter housing. This is a Wynn's product in 500ml aerosol form called Fuel injection intake and carb cleaner about £4.99. If spilt on paint work wash off emmediately with water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris a Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 Another suggestion, cellulose thinners also works a treat, but be careful with spillages. Also for those that make the same mistake as me, it is good at cleaning the oily rings that new Yoko's leave on the wooden floor in the dining room, when they really should have been put in the garage (her talking) Chris A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
