Soaked the carb in Pine Sol

I dipped the old motorcraft in pine sol for about 12 hours and blew it clean with the water hose.. I used a toothbrush to finish it all up

A little toothbrush action and BLING!

All you OCD guys will see the one thing iv yet to correct since Iv had the truck(I even zip tied it in

) I added 36 zip ties to the engine bay by the way

It works as good as gunk just not as fast.. It works as well as purple power or any other chemical I have used(including Carb cleaner)..

Some benefits of this is
1. Its environmentally friendly
2. Makes you irresistible smelling to the wife lol

3. Its made this literally, "junked" motorcraft run like a 200+$ reman..

Well. That's a new one.
Tell yea what does work (I'd hate to waste enough to do a carb tho)is some white lightening. We call it carb cleaner now, used it in a mason jar to clean out a check valve. Bout 15min of soaking and wahlah! True story
