<DIV>I'm familiar with what you speak off. I use it from time to time,
and always keep a couple of cans on hand. 99 cents a can at the
local Auto Zone. But, I don't think it would have the same effect as
dunking it in a bucket of carb cleaner. BTW, Auto Zone, Advance, Checker
should sell the <U>one gallon</U> bucket of carb cleaner. I have used
it with good results as well. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Back to the aerosol can idea. Not sure if spraying the cleaner down
the pipe would have the same effect with the evaporation properties it has, not
to mention, not sure if the aerosol type is has potent as the bulk
cleaner. </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe once you have sprayed the cleaner in, then plug the holes up for a
while it would work. Or maybe fill the pipe up, then add a few bee-bees,
then shake the living dog-doo out of it. Might be a pain to get the
bee-bees back out, but it might help break up the carbon. </DIV>
<DIV>Just a thought....</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>T-bone:<BR>Now what I'm wondering is if I can find some of the
carburetor cleaner that was in a spray can. We used to use it to clean
the red dye that was gummed all over the outside of the carb. Spray it
on, let it sit for a couple of minutes, brush it some with a stiff brush,
blast it off with water. Stuff a rag down the carb, and you didn't even
need to take it off the manifold. Spraying this stuff down the Hatori
pipe, (the stuff comes with a long plastic tube, whose use is optional) could
possibly get the job done. It just may be time to go
shopping.<BR><BR>Bill Glaze<BR><BR>T&C Brown wrote:<BR>

<DIV>Bill,</DIV>
<DIV>That's how I clean my Hatori pipes. Works great....Just throw the
sucker in the 5 gal bucket for two - three hours, rotating it end over
end once, and they come out looking like new. You'd be amazed how much
carbon builds up on the inside. </DIV>
<DIV>Now if I only had the guts to try it with my carbon pipe!

[SPAM] Re: Pipe Life Questions</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>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
