<DIV>I would NOT use a sand blaster of any sort. If you do you'll never get it
clean enough and you'll draw whatever media you used back into the

<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Buff (and others who have had
the same problem)<BR>About how many flights did it take to get the pipe
blockage that you folks are talking about? Obviously, it announces
itself by degrading engine performance, and I was curious about when to
start looking for the problem. One of my Hatori pipes had a lot of
crud on the outside, and I cleaned it with some Airplane Cleaner that I
picked up at Advanced Auto Parts. It took several applications, but
did a fair job of cleaning. But--that's not the same as the inside of
the pipe. When I was building engines, I had a 5 gallon pail of
carburetor cleaner and I'm wondering if that stuff would do any good.
It sure removed all the crud from a carburetor; while the race engines never
got all that dirty, I did do other stuff besides, and I saw the carb cleaner
work miracles.<BR><BR>Bill Glaze<BR>P.S. Buff: See you at Myrtle
