"SteveB" quickly quoth:

I got some parts I need to clean. I have gas and acetone, and a quart or so
of mineral spirits.

What's a good solvent for cleaning the exterior of carburetors, engine
parts, etc, in a sink or tub with a parts brush that won't eat your brain

If it doesn't eat your brain, it won't clean the most intimate
passages in the carburetor body. Cresols rule!
