+====== Parts Cleaners ======
+==== Carburetor Cleaner ====
+Carburetor cleaner is not just for cleaning carbs and their parts. \\
+A gallon of carburetor cleaner is very useful in cleaning most any parts, bolts and other metals and soaking stuck gaskets. \\
+There is a metal bucket with a handle inside so you can put in small parts and remove them with the handle easily without loosing any. \\
+Insert small parts, bolts, wrenches or whatever you need to clean, close the lid and let them soak. \\
+Later, open the lid, remove the small bucket inside by the handle, set the bucket on the ground and wash the parts cleaner off with a water hose. \\
+Let them air dry and most, if not all of the grease/grime should be gone. \\
+You may have to re-soak heavy grimed parts or use a wire brush to break grime hardened areas before soaking again. \\
+For soaking stuck gaskets between mated parts to loosen them, \\
+Depending on how old or how 'stuck' the parts are, soaking for a couple hours may help to separate the old gasket in between. \\
+Make sure to remove any rubber or plastic parts before soaking. \\
+Also check the label for safety precautions. \\
+Parts that have been sitting for years may have to be soaked for about 24 hours. \\

+This oil pump had to be soaked overnite before the cover would separate from the body. \\
+Keep in mind, any rubber parts on the inside will have to be replaced before installation. \\
