Best Solvent for carbon removal

MEK, if you can deal with the environmental aspects of it.
Berryman B12. For me - it removed plenty of carbon (intentional) and some paint (unintentional).

Amsoil's Power Foam works well.
Yes. There is also Berryman Chem-Dip, which is stronger, but some people had issues with using that on aluminum for more than a few hours.
I would say MEK, but no one sells it. Only MEK substitute.
The first Google entry I see has it. https://www.westmarine.com/sunnysid...BHeY1eQmPZ4kZzXTpWFzKn0kKVpOE01RoCKGYQAvD_BwE
I see that. You used to be able to buy it many places local like lowes, sherwin williams etc.
IIRC, it was one of the ingredients in Kreen by kano labs.
Paint stripper is worse. Just try and find the good stuff these days.
"O'Reillys" brand carb cleaner is stronger than any other.
Gunk brand "Motor Medic" autozone etc

GM Top Engine Cleaner.
You can’t get MEK in CA or states that follow CARB standards, however the blue and orange boxes don’t carry it - W.M. Barr, the people who own the Kleen-Strip brand discontinued it. W.M. Barr also packages solvents for Ace and True Value so they are also out of the question.
Try a real paint store(Sherwin-Williams, a Benjamin Moore dealer, PPG Paints or a local paint brand) - Sunnyside Solvents and Crown Solvents still packages MEK.
