smokin 2 stroke Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 the other day i accidently dropped my blaster pipe and a big chip of the carbon fell out lol. so you can drop it alot and eventually if will come out. but i dont recommend it lol Quote
FireHead Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 NYUK is wright on this one. Carbon build up is as hard as diamond. It's tuff to get out. Sandblasting is the only way. Just don't stay in their to long with the nozzle. Chemicals won't do it. Tape up the flange with layers of duck tape & put a blanket over the pipe & go for it. I switched my premix over to MOTUL you won't get that build up. It burns super clean. There are several things wrong with what was sstated there. Not only is sand blasting not the only way to decoke and expansion chamber, it's not even the best way to do it. Sand blasting carries with it many of the same problems as the torch methods I described with the additon of the fact that you probably will not be able to bring sand or media to bear on many parts of the chamber. Using Motul is not an effective way to prevent coking of an evhaust system. While it may coke the system less than a castor based oil, but it will still coke the exhaust just as bad in the long run. :thumbsup: Quote

Before i was using 927 When the bike was stock huge amounts of carbon builed up the first year that I bought the bike. It was choking the pipe. When I pulled the motor to send it out to trinity the pipes were on their for about three years using moltul. Their was no carbon builed up what so ever using Moltul. I'm sold. To get the carbon out using 927 I've tried everything under the sun even paint remover would't touch it. This what I like about trinity's stainless steel pipes. Even tried easy-off baking fuild. We have a huge snap-on sand blaster cabinet at work using media not sand I cleaned these pipes once since I bought these pipes in 1998 using the sandblaster methed. I'm on my third motor with these pipes. I just got motor back from jeff last year looked at the pipes still clean before putting them back on. Every time I pull the pipes I check it. Believe it or not their still clean to my satisfaction. So I'm a firm believer on what oils you use. This stuff burns clean. Quote

I wasn't saying that Motul wasn't good oil, I just wanted to make sure that no one thought that it completely eliminated coking. Any natural castor based oil will create alot more carbon-carbon deposits than a synthetic oil will. :beer: Quote
FireHead Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 I think im gunna try seafoam. Other than being foam on the sea, what is seafoam? Quote

FireHead Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 It's a fuel stabilizer/injector cleaner/carbon cleaner, ect. ect.... Interesting. I have never heard of it. You've got me curious now. :biggrin: Quote
black sunshine Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 Interesting. I have never heard of it. You've got me curious now. :biggrin: injector cleaner, carb cleaner, frees lifters and rings, de-icer anti gel, upper cylinder lube, dries oil and fuel. Had a can laying around... I think you can even use it as a mouthwash........ Quote

stink989 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 gasket remover breaks carbon down Quote
Rodneya Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Carbon tetrachloride will dissolve the carbon. Not sure if you can still buy it though. Quote
