So far: (Flat!) coca cola for gummed up carb jets/emulsion tubes/needles. Water/washing up liquid general small parts degreasing. Flash liquid/water. (this has an awesome cleaning power). Not tried trike or other solvents yet. JB

I've used white spirit and it works. The destructions say not to use solvents but I reckon thats 'cos the liquid gets warm while its working.

First tank was Teepol, second and third were water.
