Anything beats California/CARB/EPA emasculated carb cleaner.


I used laquer thinner.  I bought 4 gal at Home Depot for $20.  Worked great
and didnt smell too bad (could always use a resperator if needed).  I poured
the left overs back into the cans and could use it again for the next
re-build :-)

I borrowed a pressure glass bead blaster today and it cleaned up the
rotor in just a few minutes. I am in the process of boiling to see
if any glass was embedded in the cast iron. I looked at it with a
ten power jewelers loop and did not see any.
