Threebond - the ultimate cleaner

Hey All
Thought I would share some info about this amazing product. Few years I came upon this product at my mechanics shop. Called Threebond engine conditioner, this stuff is amazing. It's principal roll is to de-coke engines, it is used by Subaru to clean the boxer engine.
I used it on cleaning carburetor parts, put some product in the bowl with all jets, returned next morning to find jets looking brand new, bowl was like when it first left the factory. I was blown away how clean everything was without any effort on my behalf. This is a great product

 

As a follow on of the above, forgot to mention that Threebond manufacture sealants that can be used on any part of your bike. They have a vast range of other products also. Can't speak too highly of them
Check them out www.threebond.com.au

 

Think it would be fine, would have to be throttle bodies only as I'm uncertain what this product would do to plastics and rubber??????Perhaps I might enquire about, will keep you posted.

 

Have sent email to threebond Qld. Soon as I get an answer will let you know!

 

After a very quick trip to Bris Vegas, arrived home to find an email from Anthony from Threebond/Qld.
Anthony responded very diligently on all questions that I raised.
The engine conditioner was developed primarily to de-coke engines and clean throttle bodies. From 2004 plastic components ie. throttle sensor encased in plastic cradles are cleaned by the product. Earlier plastics would be trial and error. Like all throttle body cleaners, coming into contact with teflon coatings would in fact destroy said coatings.
Anthony was uncertain what effect the product would have on early model carburetors such as those found on our motorcycles.
My take on this product therefore has not changed, no plastics or rubber should be present whist spraying the product, it is designed to clean the metal components and no more. So plastics, rubber o/rings and diaphrams are pretty much out of the picture. Hope this clarifies what the product can and can't do. One last point raised, whilst cleaning carburetors, all linkages after being cleaned are also lubricated by the product. Hope this clarifies.

 

Quick Update from Threebond

Received additional information from Anthony from Threebond overnight.
His email is perhaps more relevant with information from the field. Motorcycle mechanics are using the product for cleaning powervalves. The conditioner is added whilst the engine is running and hot, the results are as good as removing and soaking the powervalves, therefore eliminating the R&R issue. This would be welcome news to those with powervalved engines.
Also, some are using it on carburetors, again with the engine running and at operating temperature, results are very good. No problem with O/rings and plastics as the product contact is very short lived and hot.
I'm sure this information may bring a to many a dial, specially mine as bikes we acquire generally have dirty carb issues. Will keep you posted on any further information as it comes to hand.

 

looks like it did the job, I am not one to promote products as a rule, but threebond ticked all the boxes for me. Your photos tell the story, it does work. Imagine all your jets soaking overnight, looking brand new next day. Thanks for sharing it with us.

 

Hi Jim
Threebond engine conditioner is used to decoke engines, used on Subaru boxer engines. More motorcycle mechanics are using it cleaning carbs and very handy on power valves. I haven't tried on exterior components, can't really say. Don't want to lead you down the wrong track.

 

Have heard the same rumour, kinda makes sense when you think about it.
