I use aircraft stripper it work's great.

Will a good cleaning w/ mineral spirits do the job?, then lubing up the cables & valves?

 

[pro116]

mineral spirtis should work.Anything really works some better than others.

No, mineral spirits won't tuch that stuff you need something tough like
aircraft stripper or carb cleaner and then even that stuff you need to soak
it and really scrap it to get it off, that carbon on these valves is nasty stuff.

i personally use aircraft stripper that stuff works great without taking off
the valve coating..
