HARRY64CHEVY Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 In the Cylmers they say to soak your reeds/valve in a solution of solvent? Does anyone know what to use? Can you soak it in gas? or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you soak it in gas? or what? i would proably sock them in gas if it was me i cant see how you would hurt them. gas runs through them all the time so ? i think its ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 i wouldnt soak them in anything. id just spray them down with some parts cleaner and wipe them off real good. i wouldnt think that youd wanna up and soak them in gas.

dajogejr Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Stock reeds? (Metal) soak 'em in gas... I think a composite or carbon fiber reed might delaminate in PROLONGED soakings....maybe not. I use brake cleaner, dries on it's own...

trueraiderfan Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 How often are you supposed to clean them? I didnt even know you were supposed to clean them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Don't soak. I used to spray my old Boysen reeds with Ether (starting fluid). Then just wipe them down with a dry rag. Good To Go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
