Make your own soda blaster

[ltuck]

Ive got a buddy whose grandpa had a setup similar to this for cleaning spark plugs. It was in a cloth bag to catch the media so he didnt have to refill it every time, and had a hole in the bag to stick the plug into...pretty slick. And i bet it would remove the grime right off those tit..make em like brand new!

OK, just tried this my self. HOLEY SHIT MAN! This is the single BEST cleaning tool I have ever used on a carb. Any one know if it works that good on other shit? Like engines? Cooling fins are a bitch to clean, would this shit work on them just as well?

Depends on what a caked on mess you are dealing with. If it is minor, yes. The soda blaster will work, however, you will use a lot of baking soda.
Costco sells a huge bag of baking soda for around $10. Better than buying a bunch of boxes.

That should last a while.

That is a really good one, thanks

Good stuff. My buddies just mad a homeade soda blaster and seems to work pretty good.

I'm gonna try it on the v-star 650 brakes I'm trying to rebuild for my cousin. He let it sit outside for a couple years, got all gummed up and nasty inside. Tried using brakleen and compressed air, but there's still alot of rusty looking residue and funk in the master cyl and the caliper. Probably wouldn't be good to blast the rubber brake line out huh?

I tried the home made thing, didn't have much luck with it. I even bought a suction feed gun and didn't have much luck with it either.

Volkswagen heads are always good for the sweet cheapo fixes. Thanks for posting, I'll be trying this soon.

Worked awesome!! Brakes look like new inside and out.

heres mine found engine cleaner with hose in garage

Hell yes this works great on brakes. Going to hit my wheels with them when I get back from work. I built mine just like the directions except I added some zipties to hold the hose right against the spray gun.

Before and after brake calipers.

I don't know how long it'd been since I cleaned those cocksuckers, but my bike has been abused for years with very few washings, especially the wheels and brake calipers.

Just going to bump this shit for people in need. I was going to buy the Harbor Freight soda blaster to do my engine, wheels and carbs, but now I think I'm going to give this a try.
