Carb cleaner evaporates too quick.
WD will stay on them and finish 'em up and they won't come back to the nest.
I use carb cleaner to get high, lol.

After all these years breathing in paint fumes at the body shop I didn't think anything would get you high any more.

Stray carb cleaner is hell on plastic parts.
Stray WD-40 is not as its inert.

Oh yea, I know, I learned that the hard way many years ago. I try to keep it away from plastic parts, unless I want to melt them. It's like liquid fire to plastic parts. Some plastics will hold up to it. On the V6 we have a plastic intake, I sure hope it hold up to carb cleaner. Have to spray the gunk off that thing when it gets older. Intakes get really dirty over the years.
