how about just regular battery acid, If I just put a drop or two in the passage way let soak then rinse out real good, only if I cant find or buy the other product. I am ready to try anything right now.

Battery acid, I think you may be there a couple months possibly. Just my opinion.

I just did a search on phosphoric acid, it is in soda and any soft drink that needs a tangy taste. I looked at a can of dr pepper and it has it in it yet not as potent as straight acid but it is in there. I just called a friend and he has some out at his farm so I will be trying that tomorrow.....makes you think of things you are drinking and eating...

I use a product called Marine Clean. It comes in a gallon jug and costs about $22 at the local auto parts store. Soaking a carb in it gives excellent results.

It is called a degreaser when used as directed ...mixed three parts water to one part cleaner. Works excellent for general cleaning on the whole sled. I put the diluted mix in a spray bottle and mist it on. Wait 15 miuntes and hose it off with hot water.

It will spot an aluminum tunnel if left on too long so use caution there.
