carb cleaning

[Blaster200boy]

Cleaning out this VM22SH Carb and was wondering what is the absolute best way to clean out all the nasty stuff in it and outside of it? I've heard of a name called Berryman's is good, but I'm not certain. Btw, I think there should be a sticky about this cleaning method if there isn't already one out there...

i let the carb set over night is come cleaner.
i have the carb 100% taken apart.
then i use my parts washer to clean them
then some carb cleaner for more cleaning.
air gun to dry it off.
then examine the carb for anything wrong. clean the seals and put it back together.

just tear it apart and spray it out with carb cleaner.



or get a can of carb dip and let it sit for a while

Do I have to take out the O-rings and any other rubber part? Would it be wise to replace the seals anyway?

you should take the rubber seals out


carb kits are cheap, if the carb is really gunked up, it probably needs new seals anyway

That includes removal of things like choke knobs and float needles with viton (rubber) tips!

Yea, that carb dip is some harsh stuff. It will eat everything thats not metal quick! I learned the hard way yrs ago.

My grandfather begs to differ. He thinks that it would be fine, I said I would be doing the same thing I am now in a couple more months if we let it sit the way it did. If I was to get a Carb kit, its gonna be a Moose Racing kit. I dont wanna buy those piece of junk Shindy's or any other knock offs.
