Patrick:
Soaking anything in gasoline is an invitation to blow yourself and
everything around you sky high. Remember, a cup of gasoline has the same
explosive force as a stick of dynomite. Buy a commercial carb cleaner. The
Gunk brand comes in a gallon can with a wire basket to soak the smaller
parts. It's much less volatile than gasoline.
