Assuming I do a tear down and remove the seals/plastics, has anyone had good or bad experiences with small engine carbs and acetone?
I've got what I suspect is a gummed carb on my Onan 4K, after it had an unexpected time out where I couldn't exercise the gen monthly and didn't have an opportunity to drain the bowl.
The gen runs, but surges under a load and dies usually after 20-30 minutes. I've tested the fuel pump and filter, and both seem to be fine, so I'm moving on to pulling the carb and doing a soak.

And the answer, from several people, is:
NO, do not use acetone.
That's not what the answer has been. I get that a lot of people like Seafoam.
I'm asking if anyone has tried acetone (which is one of the main components in B12).

Why don't you try Seafoam mixed in a gallon of gas.
