RE: Best way to clean up old carb
"Dawn Power Dissolver" REALLY works well for buildup.
You basically wash the engine/carb in it, let it sit for a while with the liquid on, then wash it off with water.
Finally you remove the water by apply something that will displace the water.
I use air to blow out the water, then WD40 followed by glow fuel and/or afterun oil.
The excess castor disappears completely and your engine/carb looks brand new too!

I had a gummed up OS 25 that the carb wouldn't move at all. I sprayed it with WD-40 and let it set a minute and it loosened up as I actuated it and put more wd-40 on it.

I did the old antifreeze technique to clean up my old engine. Looks like I just bought it. I will probably try the Dawn Power Dissolver next time on another engine I gotta do... seems easier! lol
