Hey guys i am getting ready to put new o-rings on my injectors as they are leaking ( I HOPE) Anyways i was wondering i could soak the end of the injectors in carburator cleaner to clean the tips. Any thoughts on this? Thanks Lancer!!

Don't use anything caustic that might damage an internal o-ring.

A light solvent with a soft bristle brush to knock the carbon off works great.

Varsol is a petroleum distillate...should work fine. Dip your toothbrush in it and go to town.
