hi guys, someone i know, has a petrol lawnmower, but he hasnt used it in 5 years or so, so all the jets in the carb are all gunked up.

is there a special type of cleaner, or acid to remove it all and clean out the carb?

any help will be good.

cheers :w00t:

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.

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

CHECK THE BOTTLE FIRST.
