Harbor Freight changed the recipe. The bottle previously stated "NON-CORROSIVE". Now it says "CORROSIVE", "do not user on Aluminum". It now damages most carburetors. Recently I have been using Simple Green PRO HD with good results. #GeneratorRepair #Generator #SmallEngineRepair #SmallEngine #DIY #Fixed #Troubleshooting #HowTo #hondapower Alternator, Blow By, Blow-By, Blowby, Broken Rings, Burning Oil, Compression Test, Cylinder Hone, EU1000i, EU18i, EU200i, EU20i, EU2200i, EU30is, EU3200i, EU32i, EU55is, EU6500is, EU7000is, End Gap, Fixed, Generator Maintenance, Generator Not Working, Generator, Hertz, Honda, Hondabond, How To, How to Fix Generator, How-To, Leakdown Test, Load Test, Low Oil Sensor, Low Oil Shutdown, Oil Change, Oil Seal, Portable Generator Repair, Power Quality, Repair, Ringland, Rings, Small Engine Repair, Small Engine, Smoking, Stepper Motor, Stuck Rings, THD, Timing Belt, Timing, Troubleshooting, Valve Stem Seal, Engine Rebuild,
