Default Cleaning up the Tri-Power. I have questions

I cleaned and media blasted the carbs years ago. They are starting to look a little greasy these days.

Question:
How do I get the baked on grease off without media blasting them again?

I would like to not remove the paint if possible.

Thanks guys.

Try a steam pressure cleaner if you can. It will take off the oil and grease, but it might also take off some paint. But that will happen no matter what you use to clean it. Just don't hold the nozzle real close to the engine and that might help save the paint.

What about Pine-sol? I saw people using that to clean their carbs.
I do have extra paint if needed.
