Anyone knows what is the best method for thorough removing of carbon from a 2 stroke bike's exhaust?
I could see from my PC pipe at the muffler end a carbon buildup of at least 2-3mm.
I soaked the pipe with Turpentine overnight and used a dremel tool with a frayed cable to scrap the carbon off the walls.
However, I can't tell whether the internals are as clean as far as my eye can peek down the small hole.....
I do read that NaOH is the best "solvent" but does the carbon really just comes off by itself after using it? Even with my dremel tool, the carbon is pretty hard...
I've heard that burning the pipe and making it glowing red will heat up and dry off the carbon and when hot enough, it will crack off the wall. Any true???
Help for my suffocated bike please....:ugg:
