handful of options but..
try simmering it for an hour or 2 first then addind some detergent and giving it a good stir up.
Hi,
As Jonnyboy landy, is looking to fit an electrical one,
Im cleaning up an early S2 fuel pump, with the bracket, and two screws, holding the valves in.
What is the best was to remove that sticky fuel residue ???
Tried carby cleaner, brake cleaner, spray degreaser plus straight fuel. I need to clean the brass round gauze and other bits.
Would this earlier one be better than the later type. It has a solid brass arm, and appears to have a longer arm action, more fuel delivery, than the later one I have fitted, with the multi layered arm.
Thanks whitehillbilly

If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.
I contacted BP some years back, here is their recipe for a solvent to dissolve the residue
For cleaning out the gums a mix of Toluene, acetone and methanol or methylated spirits works, the ratio is 40% toluene with 30% acetone and 30% methanol.
It did work from memory.....

Nitro-cellulose lacquer thinner is good for removing all sorts of baked on or hardened crud.
