Carburettor Cleaner – Overtime, carburettors and choke valves can become clogged with gum, varnish and dirt, affecting performance. Our Handy Man Carburettor Cleaner quickly removes these deposits from the inside and outside of the carburettor to improve engine performance, fuel economy and reduced emissions. It can also effectively clean all non-painted metal parts and surfaces.
Will not harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors, and contains no methanol or methylene chloride. If sprayed on painted surface, wipe off at once. However, this product is not recommended for fuel-injected vehicles. Carburettor Cleaner can be applied to a hot or hot or cold engine (see instructions below).
With engine off and cool carburettor:
Remove the air cleaner and clean the outside of the carburettor and all the linkages. Avoid spraying electrical connections. Do not spray down carburettor throat with engine off.

of cool heat riser shaft. Allow to penetrate and
clean. Move counterweight up and down until
free.
With engine running carburettor:
Spray to both ends of the choke valve shaft while working choke by hand. Spray down and around the
carburettor throat to remove deposits from the throttle plate area. Do not spray below throttle plate.

and spray into the open end of the valve, while working the plunger back and forth.
Penetrating oil – is very low-viscosity oil. It penetrates the narrow space between the threads of two parts and can be used to free rusted mechanical parts (such as nuts and bolts). It can also be used as a general purpose lubricant, a cleaner, or a corrosion inhibitor.
Other uses include: removing chewing gum and adhesive stickers, lessening friction on metal-stringed musical instruments, various gardening purposes and household repair tasks, sprayed on aluminium and electrical connections to act as a water repellent.
Highly recommended for a marine environment where penetrating oil keeps the ignition system free of water and acts a water inhibitor to aluminium engine parts. Can also be used as a chrome and stainless polish
protective agent by giving a light spray and polish to stainless steel, aluminium rails and finishing details.
