- Cass Hausserman2024-01-19Lots of Applications!
This is a high-value, low cost, high quality product. It is a great product that I use for it's intended purpose -- cleaning carbs and choke valves. I have also found a lot of other uses around the house in which this product works great for: 1. Engine Parts Cleaning: Apart from carburetors and chokes, the cleaner can effectively clean other engine parts, such as throttle bodies, fuel injectors, and intake valves. It helps remove carbon deposits and varnish buildup. 2. Lubricant Removal: Carb and choke cleaner can be used to remove stubborn grease, oil, and lubricant residues from metal surfaces, making it useful for cleaning tools and mechanical parts. 3. Electrical Contacts: In some cases, carburetor cleaner can be used to clean electrical contacts and connectors. It helps remove dirt and oxidation, improving electrical conductivity. 4. Brake Parts Cleaner: In a pinch, carb and choke cleaner can be used as a brake parts cleaner. It can effectively remove brake dust, grease, and contaminants from brake components. 5. Sticker and Adhesive Removal: The cleaner can be effective in removing adhesive residues left behind by stickers or tape on surfaces. It helps dissolve and loosen sticky substances. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE SOLVENTS IN THIS PRODUCT CAN RUIN DYES, SMUDGE SOME PLASTICS, AND OTHER MATERIALS THAT DISSOLVE WITH ACETONE. Try to use on metal or more robust things. 6. Metal Degreaser: Carburetor cleaner can serve as a degreaser for metal surfaces. It helps break down and remove heavy grease and grime from engine components, tools, or machinery. 7. Bicycle Chain Cleaner: Carb and choke cleaner can be used to clean bicycle chains. It helps remove built-up dirt, oil, and debris, enhancing the performance and longevity of the chain. 8. Firearm Cleaning: Can be used as a solvent for cleaning firearms. It can help dissolve powder residue, carbon buildup, and other contaminants on gun parts. 9. Printer Head Cleaning: In printers with removable printheads, carb and choke cleaner can be used to clean printheads. It helps dissolve dried ink and debris, improving print quality. 10. Graffiti Removal: The cleaner's solvent properties can be useful for removing graffiti or paint from certain surfaces.

I really like this carburetor cleaner. Gumout is a good brand name and it does the job. I work on small engines and cars and it has never failed me.

This nicely priced carb cleaner helped restore the rpms in my old Montero Sport. Saved a trip to the mechanics!
- Sam2024-04-20Got my lawnmower started
When I told a machine shop mechanic that especially for the last mowing of the season, I drained the carburetor by mowing the last few strips of lawn with the fuel oil valve switched closed until the mower sputtered to a stop, he said he never does that, and just sprays carburetor cleaner into the air intake and it always starts right up. He'll even spray it through the air filter. So last season with our 1-year old toddler as an excuse, I didn't remember to empty the carburetor through the winter. Come March and April my mower wouldn't start up. I panicked and bought this stuff and ran across the street to the lawn service working on our neighbor's lawn. They came over to my mower, and first opened the air filter and it was absolutely brown and dusty. Knocking the dust off on their boot, they left it off and sprayed this stuff into the hole where the air intake filter was removed, not even bothering to use the little straw. Then after a few big pulls of the cord, it started up without the air filter on. Then he shut it off, put the filter back on, and tried again. It took another few pulls, but the mower started up with the filter on too. At that point I let it run with the fuel valve turned close until the carburetor emptied. Next day the mower started OK (this is all with old gas from last season), and I put fresh gas in and changed the oil, and we're in good shape for the season. Glad this stuff and the lawn service next door saved me and my mower!
- Cadstar2024-06-20The original and still the best
I've been wrenching on things since 1983 so you could say I am familiar with crab cleaner. You may be tempted to pick up some no-name crap spray at your local auto parts store, but Gumout is the brand to get. Recently found I was out of carb cleaner and tried using break cleaner instead. Brake clean just can't get into and eat at carbon build-up like Gumout can. There is no substitute. They have been making this stuff virtually unchanged for decades now, why go with anyone else? Jet sprays right to the very last drop left in the can too which is a huge plus.
- mog7032024-05-23Still enough VOC to do the job
So many products new and old to do the job this does. Clean gunk off of metal, in particular carburetors. I have tried several of the more expensive carb cleaners that I had seen video reviews on that claim to do miracles. I feel I have wasted my money on those other products paying two and three times as much with the same or worse results. Gummout has been around forever. I realize that there is a reason some companies last. They give the public a product that does what it says it will do. That is all we ask of a product. Aside from the companies that chose money over their customers and sold their name/brand off I will buy a name I know over one that I don't. It makes shopping easier and in the end, I save money. Even with all the current environmental laws Gummout has found a way to manufacture a cleaner that works. It still does the job, just not quite as good as it did in the past with the high voc content.
