carb cleaner

Hi, can you buy carb cleaner in a large can? I can only find it in small bottles and I need enough to do all four carbs. I found a product called Berrymans carb and parts cleaner on the other site, is this avialable in the UK? Also what can I use to get the black paint off?  I think they should be bare metal .



Thanks

Andy.

Dave M:
I've only ever used carb cleaner in an aerosol.

I soaked all the jets in cellulose thinners and then blew them out using the carb cleaner and then finally with compressed air.

Spitfire:
On the interior of the carbs I used an aerosol carb cleaner folowed up with a polish using my Dremel and an abrasive brush (not wire brush) these are very good for polishing up alloy without causing serious scratches and leaving bits of brush behind, then a final polish with Solvol.
On the exterior I used lolly sticks, Brillo pads, Solvol on small buffing wheels in the Dremel and the same abrasive wheel in the Dremel. It was'nt fast but it got the job done, here's some pics.





Cheers

They look quite impressive. Well worth the effort.

matthewmosse:
soak them in cheap cola, then use spray carb cleaner, silver hook stuff is pretty fierce just be sure to use safety gogles.
