    I use laq thinners and rags. Don't like how oven cleaner changes the surface / leaves it roughed up.

    the hand cleaner seems to work ok

    let it sit for an hr or so...BUT

    it seams to stain...might be a bit caustic

    Dewey, I used gunwash to clean a carb for my truck on the advice of a mechanic I worked with, and it works damn good. I think I still have a bucket of some in the garage. You're welcome to try that.

    My Dad worked in the boiler room at a Steel plant.
    He swears by a bucket of hot water with a steam line straight in.
    Leave it for an hour, parts come out looking shinny and new!

    liquid Egr cleaner would probably work well.
