you shouldn't have much carbon unless it's running really rich or you use shit 2-stroke oil,get rid of it and it'll be back in 500 miles.a pointless exercise imho.

I stick the head and piston in some brush cleaner for a couple of hours, then use a plastic scraper. Sometimes 360-ish wet and dry using paraffin as a lubricant. I *think* i remember it saying in sticky's to leave the coke above the top ring but don't quote me on that.

It's not a working engine, the top ends in bits in the shed. Just having a bit of a tidy and thought I give it a clean up. I don't know what it is but I can't bear to throw anything away anymore. Includes items that I know are no good or broke, bits thats been replaced or ones I've brought thinking thats a good idea at the time. Used a plastic scaper to get most of the crud off, just wondered if anything else could be used to get the last bit off. |
