would it work to clean/dry a 2 cycle carburator?

I got a portable air tank and fitted a hose and nozzle for about $40. Works great and can be carried to flat tires. Some gas stations offer "free air" just look for the highest psi.

When it's brand new, yeah, I suppose it could considering that's when it has full pressure. I'd recommend an air compressor with an air tool fitting but I'm no expert.

I don't know because I don't have a Carburator, but if it has dust on it that's not sticking to the object, it should remove the dust & clean it.

Can says "residue free, moisture free...great for drying" but it contains bitterant

I use mineral spirits to clean my carbs. (small engine and motorcycle carbs).Works great. Fill a mason jar (canning jar) with the mineral spirits and parts to be cleaned, then I fill the ultrasonic cleaner with water up to the same level as what's in the jar.Saves on having to use tons of mineral spirits.I use different cleaning solutions depending on what I'm cleaning.

I used it for such a short while, I didn't try that- it cleans easily by hand, however. It is all stainless steel, so as long as you detach the motor it appears to be something that could be done.

Well it will help clean out old varnish-like leftover gunk from 15+ (?) years, but I wouldn't count on it doing its job without possibly creating more trouble. On an old/older bike, the carb gaskets may be close to shot and if there are other rubber-like parts (Viton jet adjustment screw ends, etc.) they might be changed/damaged in the RedLine solution with gas. It might be good to clean the fuel system this way, but you might just expect to do a carb rebuild afterward. E-Mail the red-line people for expert advice.

Yes this should clean them just fine....if u use a alcohol in it 1 cycle should work just fine....worked perfectly for me.

Yes just be sure the area is very clean and degreased. I am using it for my intake gasket and also for steam engine gaskets.

I only used it on my snowblower carburetor. It cleans out the gunk and will clean out your fuel line and injector. I would give it a shot since it's a cheap tool to help with the diagnosis. Be aware that it may be something else though.

Sorry, I can't help you on the 2-cycle. I do use it in my 14 hp kohler miny back hoe and 18 hp brigs lawn tractor.lee

I have used this on several carbs and throttle bodys. I would say though that I do clean my stuff with water based mix of simple green then blow off with air to get the bulk of the grime off before going to the Berrymans.

A good way to remove gas is to use a siphon pump like that used for filling kerosine heaters. Then run the engine until it runs out of the remaining fuel that will clear the line and carburator. I would store it dry for long term with no use.

I have a 25 year old shredder with a Briggs motor. This was a direct replacement for the existing carburetor (matching part number).It worked fine in my application, since it is exactly the same carb. I can't comment on any other application.

Not familiar with bike cleaning-suggest you go onto the Simple Green site and ask your question. Good luck!!! Happy cleaning!

yes make sure it is dry . I have even repaired Small gas tanks for lawn mowers

It's a complete fuel system cleaner, if it's safe enough for sensitive electronic injectors i don't see why not for carburetors, however if it's going to help clean you carburetor that i don't know

Only enough cleaner/degreaser for a couple of good cleanings... but I do it twice before I rinse. It is a great chain maintenance tool and I use straight Simple Green degreaser with it. I go through a lot of degreaser on my three bikes, but I'm a little OCD about things like that. One thing, be sure the chain is dry before you relube. I blow it off with my compressor.

Yes. While the engine is running, shut off the fuel supply line and wait until the engine dies. That will clear the engine of fuel. Then disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and drain the tank into a bucket or gas can. Sorry it took so long to reply. I was out of town. If you are draining your unit for storage, it is safe to put a fuel stabilizer in the fuel and store it still in a well ventilated place. If you are shipping it then the purge method above is ideal. I have also found this generator runs better on ethanol free fuel. It stays tuned longer and runs cooler.

I believe it would. I've used thinner and vinegar thru mine with no problems. You aren't supposed to but watch out for open flames and sparks. We aren't supposed to clean parts with gasoline but we all do. I wouldn't use gas with this but I probably would use kerosene.
