Quick question about carb dip

Post by bfowler »

Will I be able to use the same carb dip solution to decarbon my muffler? I'm gonna go buy a gallon tomorrow at oreily and I was wondering if I would be able to use it for my exhaust as well. Thanks

Expensive and awkward. Better off throwing it in a fire.

I've been told brake fluid is a good trick for cleaning a pipe, haven't tried it though. I tried the drain cleaner thogh , it workedgreat , I used the heavy industrial drain cleaner, it had sodium hydroxide and acid in it. Face shield and elbow length chemical proof gloves are a must. That stuff will burn a hole right through you, I got a smudge on my arm and it sent me running for the hose in seconds. It burned like a word that won't show up if I write it on the board ;-) I will use the blowtorch or BBQ method if I ever need to be doing it again.

Liquid Plumber has all you need. I plug the inlet opening with a wine bottle cork and fill the muffler. Shake it around and let it sit for a couple of hours and then do it again. About a day or 2. Rinse very well and then the trick is getting the water out of the muffler. Place a hair dryer in front of the inlet and blow air through until it has no water in it. You will need a new exhaust gasket when remounting.
