Still available. I got one at Pep Boys. It is no longer a gallon can,
though. Corporate downsizing affects everything. You now get about a quart
of cleaner in a half gallon can.
You can probably clean a lawn mower carb with a spray can of carb cleaner. I
use Hogwash brand, but Gumout works pretty well also. Gumout also comes in
pour cans so you can make your own carb dip.
Good luck, Bill.
