hi. sorry to ask in your thread my mini rulez but is there any carb cleaner you can just dump in either the petrol or into the carb itself. i reall don't think i could take apart a carb......being an idiot. and i know i'd try using a lump hammer at some point.
cheers.
cheers.

yep read the botle but i think it says you can put it into the throat of the carb aswell.
CHECK THE BOTTLE FIRST.
