Brakleen works great on carbs, too, both for starting and cleaning the

I don't particularly like breathing all those VOCs, and you have to
use a bit of caution with any flame near its use, and you don't want
to spray/drip onto any painted surfaces with it. I only use it
outside on windy days.g


a: brakleen is not flammable

It most certainly is.

2. Hazard Identification
Health and Safety: Extremely flammable
5. Fire-fighting Measures
Flash point: 0 deg C

b: brakleen will not hurt paint. we use it all the time to remove tar

It most certainly will. Refer to the MSDS: it's 5 to 10% acetone. You
won't see the damage to the paint until you use it the second or third
time in the same spot, after the acetone has removed the clear coat.

c: brakleen will not clean the junk off a carb that needs to come off.

That's probably true.
