Hey, how many differnt uses for carb cleaner have u USED successfully. No B/S please because I'm sure a lot of people will be trying them.

------------------
14X3 o.e., functional formula hood(for sale in future), uhhh..., umm...

Am I the only person who believes a car has feelings, emotions, and a soul??

 

oops...

clean carbs(duh!)
clean fuel injectors
throttle bodies
inside of exaust tubing
darn, what else

 

Well,
degrease my tools, strip paint off metal, clean bolts, testing fluid for vacuum leaks, hand cleaner, probably more.
I love that stuff.

Also a great solvent for cleaning residue off of 'paraphenalia', if you get my drift...

 

Three words come to mind,

Vader,

Anti-sieze, and

Pancakes...

It's funny I tend to use brake cleaner for most of the stuff where carb cleaner would be useful. I do use B-12 for a fuel system cleaner, as a side effect when I had to do emissions testing I would always put a can in the tank and it seemed to help lower the emissions.

 

Carb cleaner is also great for killing small insects

 

Does wonders on stains on driveways... especially the good stuff, meaning: None of that Gumout/Gunk garbage.

 

Dont try and use the non-chlorinated stuff as bug killer though, just pisses 'em off.....

 

starting fires. works great...just light it with something and spray on the target.

Oh christ, i hope nobody tries this at home who doesn't have reflexes. I've done (and continue to this day, just set my smoke alarm off a couple weeks ago running around with a lysol flamethrower) every kind of spray can flamethrower there is. And the scariest ones, that i will never try again, are brake and carb cleaner. They just burn TOO fast. You can light the flame 3 feet from the can, and in half a second the entire stream is a fireball. I might be a jack *** , but i'm no idiot, that looked like danger, the flame could surely make it's way inside the valve and explode the can IMO.

Funny, i remember the night i tried that distinctly, i was using it to kill a big *** spider that had made a web out my back door, and decided it'd be more fun to burn it then just kill it.

a short little shot in my potato gun works great. it launches an empty tube of caulk about 150 yards. i invented the dry ice cannon today if anyone is interested. i know i LMAO when that thing fired.

Potato gun, cleaning anything that it doesn't destroy/kill. Lighter fluid if your wife doesn't buy matchlight charcoal.

Cleaning guns. Does a very good job of cutting through powder residue. Actually, it makes the gun too clean, so it must (repeat: MUST) be followed by a good rust-resistant oil application.
