Give 'em a good scrub inside and out when you strip them down and let them dry out after

clean the outsides with fairy power spray, strip them down and soak the big bits with holes in in injector cleaner, blow out the passages with an airline then stick them in the dishwasher, when they come out blow them out again with the airline. That should get them clean.

I bought a £20 dishwasher which went straight in the workshop for my bits! Only tried it once so far with some jizer and got the oily stuff off but didnt get all the greasy muck off, would put in some chemical I have for the steam cleaner but I know it attacks the ally

, any ideas whats best?

ps shane, mr muscle oven cleaner works well on outside surfaces- just leave it for 5 mins and give a little scrub, then wash off! (Havent tried fairy power spray yet!)

So long as you can remember how they go back together working on carbs is a nice job and quicker than you think

I can vouch for this method- it saves lots of scrubbing! Makes everything smell nice too
