Title: word of warning carb/injector cleaner
Post by v4-max aka Cheekyboy1 on Jul 7^th, 2007, 5:19pm

decided it would be a good idea to use the above mentioned stuff to clean the contacts on my computer control switch. worked a treat on the contacts but it is melting the plastic. :'( :'( :'( looks like i am going to need a new one.

As per Scorpio_man's post, contact cleaner. Servisol stuff is the best IMO, a can from Maplin is about £3.70...works a treat on old hifi switches :D.

It does say on a can of carb spray...."Avoid contact with paintwork & plastics".....anything that can disolve varnish probably ain't gonna be to kind to plastic ;)

But it is better than 'Gunk' at cleaning oil & grease off engines etc, & you don't have to hose it down afterwards.... :)
