    Hey guys!

    Quick one for ya, I’ve been soaking my carbs in carb cleaner for 2 days now and can’t for the life of me get all the paint off, any recs on brands to use? Thinking about paint stripper now but can not afford to damage the carbs! So want to be sure.

    Thanks!!

    Vapour blasting is the best way. They look like new

    DOT 3 brake fluid may work well as a stripper it peels the paint off of calipers and master cylinders. good way to use the fluid as it can absorb moisture if it sits with seal open on your shelf
