carb cleaner

Carburetor cleaning spray

Carb cleaner is a solvent spray used to dissolve gunk, varnish, and fuel deposits from carburetors and other engine parts.

Though carburetors have largely given way to fuel injection, the product remains popular for general degreasing: I hit the throttle body with some carb cleaner.

The aerosol delivers a powerful stream that evaporates quickly without residue.
