Happy New Year! Hoping some experienced folks here might help me out with carb cleaning issues encountered here.. We can't get carb dip products in Canada, only spray cans. However, when opening up the carbs on my GS650G project bike, I found a mess of goo inside the float bowls from dissolved pilot jet rubber plugs in all bowls.. this coated a lot of the other jets and float mechanisms etc. what a stinky mess from 3 year old fuel and what ever it was that melted those plugs. Some of the o-rings on the interconnect tubes are also soft and gooey as well, fragments in odd weird places.. what a mess.. The float pivot mechanisms are crusted over with something brittle, not rust but it will come off.. almost..
Seeing how I can't use carb dip and don't have access to an ultrsonic cleaner, what would be my next option to get these carbs cleaned out properly? I'm thinking of perhaps dropping them in a boiling solution of "insert suggestions here" to get rid of the sludge, residue and gooey rubber..
Suggestions? Below are pics from #4 carb.. the rest are a little to more worse..
