Turpentine or other "not so fast" evaporating distillate should be fine,
assuming there were no plastic parts in there.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Reviving a carb
OK, so I borrowed a rototiller from a friend that hasn't used it in years.
Besides the exhaust valve being stuck (I fixed that,) the carb seems to be
varnished.
I dissembled it and cleaned everything that I could reach. It seems there
isn't much access to the insides of this carb (it's a small B&S motor.)
So, is there a product I can leave the carb soaking in for a while to break
up the old gas?
I leave for Iraq in a few weeks and I wanted to rototill before I left.
Thanks.
