I ordered timing belt parts through amayama.com, we will see if they show up.
In the past I’ve used propane torches to burn out the pipes on my 2 strokes when they looked like you intake. Never tried it on an aluminum intake though.
Saw some YouTube videos of the propane torch method… I really like being married. If I leave a giant scorch mark on our driveway, I may not continue in marital bliss. Found an alternate method I wanted to try first…
Oven cleaner. Filled the intake completely full of oven cleaner, let it sit and kept refilling it as the foam broke down. I also cleaned the valve cover while I was at it. Went through two cans of oven cleaner and let it sit for about an hour.
Took them both to the coin-op car wash and blasted them off. Worked like a champ - smelled awful, but worked great. Less than $10 all in and while the results aren’t perfect, the gunk is gone.
