Just took two cylinders out of mine with all the carbon removed. Treat yourself to one of these amazing machines! ;)
Which one are you using and what liquid? Mine won’t clean cylinders very well so I’ve been bead blasting the exteriors.

I don't understand why there is hatred towards a generally successful state.
It's like trying to love an insane asylum, it's not always such an easy thing to do.
When I was a kid a friend and I planned on moving to Southern California after graduation, so we could drag race cars all year and go to beaches with all the pretty girls in the day and cruise cars all night. Seemed pretty good until the time came and the realization that most of the tracks were closed and cruising and the racing scene were pretty much over for the little guy, just a few tracks with big money sponsored cars. So we never went.

What cleaning recipe in your machine?
1 part Mean Green to 1 part water.
Takes a few trips to remove the carbon, that's just the vibes working. Right now, I probably need to change my cleaning fluid as it is leaving some minor stains here and there. When fresh it brightens the metal.

You won't regret it. I like the regular parts wash to at times.
The saw has been thoroughly washed, still have to polish EX, hone the cylinder.
But before that, clean the bearings as best as possible. I would assume, hope, that the brake cleaner being in the bearing while I rotate loosens the little carbon residue that is sitting there.
Would be nice to have finished the bottom part before I move on to the 242's and 246, 346oe/ne and 340&346.

I happen to live in CA, here's my take.

When leadership says they're fixing the problem but in my town we went from 1 homeless dude to dozens in a few years, the streets keep getting worse, fires keep getting worse, everything is skyrocketing in price, wages stay the same, drug dealers act with impunity, criminals act with impunity, citizens who stand up for themself get punished worse than criminals, governments keep getting fatter and less efficient, *f-worded up policies bring the same *f-worded up results and the idiots say they just need more time to bring good results and all you hear is "raise taxes and throw more money at it" you get FED THE *f-word UP!!!!!!!!!!!

Migrants everywhere, we're told we need to conform to them and learn their language instead of vice versa, I pay taxes they don't, they get gov't benefits and I don't (not that I want their handouts), people who don't register and insure cars are free and clear while the people they hit are on the hook. Schools that don't teach anyone jack *s-word, teachers who can't read or write on a 6th grade level sucking up my tax dollars "teaching" high school. Pompous jackasses saying we don't know enough to act for ourselves, criminal gangs running rampant, "more money will fix it". Damn near 1/3 of my paycheck gets sucked up and I see nothing in the way of improvements.

Give people drugs, give them safe means to do drugs, but don't actually try and stop them from doing drugs. Put policies in place so buying guns and ammo is a huge hassle, penalize citizens who use them, but let criminals who illegally acquire that stuff go free. I'll stop here 'cause I could go on for days, but that's my take. Hell, I'm 1hr from Sac out in the brush where nobody goes and this is still stuff I gotta deal with in a town of 10-11 thousand people.

I'm toying with the idea of buying a 10 liter ultrasonic cleaner.
But I plan to finish this one anyway, without it.
Just tell Dallas the bucket you soak stuff in is a postal employee and he'll argue with it enough to provide any amount enough of agitation.
