<VV> Carb cleaners

 That's the stuff. I NEVER stored it indoors, because it stank, and anything it soaked into permanently reeked of the stuff. But boy, did it work!!

I also had a 5 gal pail (with basket) … I believe it was referred to as 
'Hydro-Seal.'
I used it for carbs and even cylinder heads (1 end at a time.)  When clean, the
parts were to be washed off with water.  It was quite pungent.  If it got on my
hands it would leave the skin VERY dry but did not 'burn.'

It used a layer of water on top to keep the working fluid from evaporating.  
That 
can also failed after many years and the fluid soaked into my basement floor.  
It
mostly rinsed off but that small area of the floor would not hold paint well.
