Power Valve installation Question

A couple of bucks said:
Now I don't or ever had power valves. And I'm sure something like this has been tried. I have used the Yamaha Carburator dip to get rid of carbon deposits in the combustion chambers. I can usually saturate the affected area and let it sit for a day. Come back and it's all been liquified.
I would also think that if ya went down to the thrift store, one could pick up an old, awful colored, avocado or orange colored 1970s era crockpot. Then place the entire can of carb dip inside the crockpot. Something like Berryman.

They come with a coating that's suppose to stop stuff from sticking to them. IMO there is a good chance that they guys complaining about very little miles and a stuck or sticky valves are lacking in the coating department. Not sure if your carb soak cocktail is coating safe.

I use trans fluid to soak real gooy/dirty ones that are hard to come out, squirting type f where they enter the housing. Let them sit over night and slide them out. If the trans fluid didn't cover the whole valve I coat them and let them sit another hour or two. Squeegy them clean with a razor blade.

My original valves get dirty with Amsoil, no question.

Other than one that's buggered up from improper adjustment during the dealer prep (but functional - hasn't changed) , Amsoil hasn't broken them.

I'm no chemist, but mayo sounds like it might work... and is viscous enough to help the soak like paint stipper.

We used Berryman in a pnumatic agitator basket for carb overhauls and it cuts baked carbon and sticky gasket paper well. Don't know that I'd try it on PVs when other, milder cleaning agents are available.
