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

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
out or blow you up? I have heard kerosene. Let me ask the dumb
question,
where do you buy kerosene? I would think Ace or Home Depot, as they sell
the kerosene heaters. Is that right? And is kerosene a good cleaner?

Wish I had one of those parts washing sinks (SD?), but I'd use it about
twice a year. Sure are handy, though.

Simple Green.

And Id give you 2 washers with pumps and heaters for free if you were
close by.

I am now living farther away from you. Was going to go to visit some
friends in San Diego the first of March, but a change of plans. Now, with
gas the way it is, don't know when we'll make that trip again, as now it is
350 miles farther round trip. Will let you know if I am going that way, and
maybe we can hook up.

Still need bar grating. I only have the short bed truck, and don't want to
pull a trailer all that way to visit friends. Might be able to find some
short pieces that will fit in my 6.5' bed. They can be up to nine feet
without a flag.
