How do you dissolve two-stroke/water slime?

[AHPP]

Getting a mate's Ryobi strimmer going. Fuel pickup filter bulb is well slimed up from sitting in old fuel. Have it in a jar of white vinegar atm, which I suspect is not doing much. What shall I try when I can be bothered to open the shed? Carb cleaner seems obvious choice.

Not worth fecking about with, just replace it?

That was my first thought. Then I considered the misery of trying to find the part (and it be the right part etc). That's a worse kind of fecking about to me.

Even the " wrong " one will be fine if it fits the pipe .

Yeah. You're right. I'd still like to know how to dissolve it anyway. For the Mad Max future.

Vinegar followed by brake cleaner looks like it’s worked btw.

Oddly, when I used to make Turbo Cider back in my drinking days, that tasted very much of vinegar with an aftertaste of brake cleaner.

Have you tied brake cleaner on your chips ?
