Anyone else find out the hard way that gumout carb and choke cleaner swells rubber? as in float needles, bowl gaskets and the little oring in the air screw?
lucky for me it seems that with a little warm air blowing on them from the furnace they shink back up but im still crossing my fingers hoping the seal like they are supposed to

I am always cautious about using carb cleaner or solvents around rubber products. I use the carb cleaner to cut the grime off of the outide of the carbs and to clean the circuits and any stubborn gunk inside the carbs. In my book gumout is "good stuff".
