Yamaha carb cleaner discontinued....
« on: September 05, 2007, 07:59:11 PM »
Dealer says spray can version only is still available. I thought the mixer an excellent product and never had seal deterioration when submerging carbs. Sorry to see Yamaha cleaner go - you might want to check your local shelves and make a buy while you can.

Whats the next best thing?

I have the permatex carb and parts cleaner and find that it works well, but it dissolves plastic and rubber so you have to completely disassemble the carbs.

That's the beauty of the Yamaha cleaner....I soak orings etc in it to make them soft and pliable again.

I was actually looking for this stuff last week but was unable to find it at my local bike shop.

I like to use the Yamaha tank rust remover/sealer kits and they too are discontinued. The gov't. is trying to protect us from those terrible chemicals I guess.
