I like this stuff works real good. Screenshot_2017-07-07-00-44-49.png Of course I cheat and use the parts washer at work and wipe it all down with industrial alcohol

This is what I switched to and love it. I spray on and let it soak for 2-3 minutes. Then wipe off with a rag. Works about as good as brake clean and compressed air, but I don't worry about fading out plastic or wiping away stickers. The brake clean also burns like hell when you spray it into a cut or gets behind my wedding ring.

Honda GX200 with a Cat Triplex pump pushin about 3200psi @ 3.2
Thanks, good info, as I have found that the 3500psi I was using tended to disassemble them prematurely. I guess it's a numbers game, was never too good at cyphering...

I like the ratio of $1.50 at the car wash, then I go home and oil/grease moving parts. Sharpen/adjust the chain and she's ready to go for the next outing.

I use super concentrated dawn, the purple stuff. Takes the trime right off. Just a squirt in the sink with 160* water and let the parts soak for a bit, then brush clean. Rinse and repeat if needed. Every saw I have done this with has looked like new.

Old habits die hard. Left over from my dirt biking days, I just use pre-mix. It washes things up and will penetrate into cracks and threads - leaving a bit of oil behind for long term protection.

I hate it when a bearing or thread gets corroded from water cleaning and pressure washing is the worse for pushing water into those small places.

WD40 or Rem oil makes easy work of it!

Snow and diesel! Snow for mild abrasive action. Diesel really is one of the best solvents. Make muh saw smell like muh tractor!
