Pulled the head off too rarely used wd 45 due to sticky intake valve and found a significant amount of carbon on the piston heads. What is the best way to remove it? Chem-dip, oven cleaner, dawn dish detergent? Hearing lots of conflicting thoughts. I assume i am getting carbon build up from not using it enough and not hard enough when i do. Other causes?. Thanks in advance

Acetone mixed with either xylene, or naptha to keep the acetone from evaporating too quickly works well with a brass bristle brush. Plastic brushes are not good in the acetone and melt. Wear safety glasses as can burn the eyes easily from "fling off" from the scrubbing. I like a spray bottle, or dip the piston crown so it it good and wet and strong agitation. 
That's All Folks!

I have a carbon problem with my "parade queen" WD. It rarely gets driven much more than a fast idle. Is there any way to prevent carbon build up, other than running it hard?
