What removes stains from natural finish motor
« on: April 05, 2008, 02:44:18 PM »
The diaphragm in the accelerator pump in my carbuerator started leaking and stained the metal. I have washed and washed and washed some more and can't get the stain out, what works to remove that little bit of ugliness? Because if it don't shine it aint mine, lol, or so I would like anyway.

Beauty!

Try spraying some wd40 on a rag then blotting...Never spray anything direct...always on a rag 1st.
wd40 works on the drips from my carb...Safty cleen brake cleaner works too...on a rag..

I use carb cleaner on my natural finished motor. It works well. :2vrolijk_21:

As suggested try using a rag and a inconspicuous spot first. I now spray it right on the cases and wipe it off with a dry rag.

Prell shampoo.  Work a generous amount around with a small toothbrush and then hose off.  Amazingly this stuff works great.  And to think, people use this stuff on their hair!   Keep it off of the painted surfaces on the bike though as it will strip any wax products that you might have on there.

Try oven cleaner.

Works on your pipes, not your engine.

Right Brian?

Must be effect of not having bike to ride, like being freeze dried or doing hard time :huepfenjump3:

You got that right Mike!  Feels like I walked into the back side of a shovel!  At least now, I've got more than one use for Glare Products!
